This is a self cast of Abalone shell pieces I bought from New Zeland a while back. Its a classic twist (my wifes choice pen). I painted the tubes, used medium CA to glue the fragments and then sanded the high edges down to round the body, then buffed on a naked wheel to shine them up before casting in Silmar 41. I had to use a nail file to shape a few and spent three days off and one glueing. I like the end results but my photo is lacking. Will probably make a few more but spend more time fitting them closer or use black paint instead of midnight blue. All comments welcome. Thanks
