Cast in white Alumilite on a Wallstreet 2,with some brass shavings to fill the center of the Peppercorns.

Not for someone who likes to chew on their pen!!

Peppercorns come in several different colors. Your next project might be to cast a blank using a mix of different colored peppercorns.

I like it, you have a great idea there. Besides using different color peppers, I'd think about sifting out the smaller pieces through a screen and just cast the whole ones.

I like that, gives a good look. When did you put in the brass, after you turned it to size?

 

[toolcrazy]

That pen is nothing to sneeze at.

Cool idea.

 

[VisExp]

That's a neat idea It came out great and you chose a good kit to combine with the blank.

Very cool looking pen.

Yes the Brass was put in after it was turned to size.(A little larger than the bushings actually).All the larger peppercorns had pits in the middle of them.

How did you keep the pepper corns from floating to the top of the PR? Really like the work.

 

[rdunn12]

It is cast in Alumilite.To my surprise the peppercorns did not float.I filled the mold about 3/4 full expecting them to float.When they did'nt float it was a mad rush to get more peppercorns in the mold.
