Coffee anyone?

[wood-of-1kind]

I don't usually jump in and indulge in trends, but it appears that coffee cast blanks are going down smoothly at the IAP cafe. Here's my cast version of the very popular coffee beans. As an added flavouring I partially dissolved some brown ti-dye crystals to simulate the coffee grounds alongside the beans. Careful as you sip it, it's very hot!!!

This is my version II shot under different lighting conditions. The beans are certainly more visible than version I.

Very cool, nice pen.

Either it's my computer monitor or you may have gone a little too dark. I can barely make out the beans.

Being from Washington you know we love our coffee beans and that pen looks good enough to drink! Very nice!

Beans are there and still penetrate with aroma on the pen even with a light CA seal. THe pics are dark (shot in sunlight), Here's the casting(brown) prior to turning.The red casting are my 'hot chili peppers' pen blanks.

Wish I could see a lighter picture of the beans barrel, but from what I can make out you made an excellent job!

Reshot under different lighting conditions. Hope that these pics are a little easier on the eye.

Since you "re-shot" them, does that mean you are making a second pot with used beans?

Nice pens and very nice workmanship. When I first saw them I was reminded of the U.S. Marines colors. :biggrin:

Chili pepper? I'd wear a respirator when turning that, heh

Is there any colorant to the resin? I bet it would work with clear and a painted tube.

Cool pen, and it will come in handy when you need a burst of caffeine.
