3 Baron 11's, 1 of a kind blanks

[Bob Wemm]

Finished these three Baron 11 pens yesterday. All the blanks are made by me, with Poly Resin.
They are finished with 4 coats of CA, sanded to 2400 and buffed with Tripoli and White Diamond.
Red one is called "Golden Sunset"
Black one is "Stardust" (sorry about the flaw)
Third one is "Bits and Pieces".

C & C welcome as usual and thanks for looking.

Bob.:biggrin:

Whats the flaw you mention?

Looking good Bob!

I really like the black one!

Whats the flaw you mention?

About 35 - 40% up from the bottom of the blank the photo shows a "dimple", which I had not seen on the blank. A close inspection shows that it is a star, and not a flaw.

So we both found something.

Thanks for your interest.

Bob

Bob, Congratulations, all three are Fantastic.
If I had to pick one it would be your "Bits and Pieces".
Not that I liked it more than the other two,
but it's quite gentle colours made me think of a Monet's Garden painting.
Quite, yet Stunningly Beautiful.
Keep up the Great Work Bob.
Love it.
Brian.

Hi Bob,

Great castings and a quality job on those pens, congrats...!

I like what you are doing with your castings, and while you have access or have in store between you and your wife Diane, some type of materials that aren't that common or available to most of us, those same materials have inspired you to experiment with PR and you are coming up with some blanks that are quite different than what we see everyday, that is a great advantage and something that will always, provoke a lot of interest to those of us that are ways thinking and making "different" blanks so, keep up those experimentations and you may find a few guys and gals here that would very easily purchase some of your blanks, to help maintaining the experimentations, huh...???:biggrin:

Cheers
George
