Beautiful pen, Neil! IMHO, this pen deserves the "fancy" centerband and clip. I love the pen, I just prefer the "fancy" hardware.

Beautiful pen. Can you share how you did your aluminite pour. I use PR and have crushed coral and tourquise to fill in the teeth holes but how do you acomplish this. I have several pieces of gator jaw bone and cast snake skin regularly. Just not sure how to do it without the crushed coral floating out of the teeth holes when the PR is poured. Also did you cast under pressure?
Not bad!! I had no idea it was even possible to fit jaw bone on a slimline!!!

Alumilite should always be cast under pressure, it's how you get the bubbles out of it:wink: Mesquiteman (Curtis) has posted a few videos on how to cast with Alumilite
Neil - Nice to see you are still turning, looks cool. I think that is one of the most expensive slims I have seen in a while:biggrin:

Thanks everyone, it was a couple of small jaws and figured I would give it a try, didn't really expect it to work but it did.
As far as keeping the crushed stuff on the sockets, I would try gluing that in before casting it. I just put the bones in a mold and poured the Alumilite over it all and then slowly cut away the excess to get to the bone. I always cast under pressure no matter what I am using and that is just my opinion so we don't need any arguments about it. I'm working on one for a friend of mine that is going to imitate his smile, he has that gold tooth look from too many years in a ring (considers himself a pro fighter, but he obviously isn't that good if he got all those teeth knocked out(yes he will get to read this))...LOL...I'll post a picture of that one when it is done, should be interesting.
