Color Blasted Coffee

[wolftat]

This Sierra was an experiment with a new way I am casting blanks lately. The beans seem to be a little denser and the colors are more attractive to me than the softer colored blanks. This one is a sky blue candy pearl. The finish is 6 coats of CA and micromesh to 12000.

I normally prefer my coffee in a cup but this is a cool looking pen . The color and the pick guard segmenting look awesome . Great job Neil !!!

Neil, I don't drink coffee, don't like the smell and generally don't care for the coffee bean pens.

This one could change my mind!!
Nice work.

Do you still get the smell of the coffee beans after coating with CA? Very nice looking by the way!

Now that's something you don't see every day...

With the color, he beans look like they're just floating in a pool. Are they somehow spaced less densely than "normal"? The segmenting adds a real nice touch, too.

Thank you for all the nice comments. I am not a big fan of the coffee pens either but since I make them, I may as well turn a few. They don't smell after they are sealed, but that's okay because I don't drink coffee anyways. I'm not sure what the difference in the density is but I do make these blanks differently than most of the other coffee bean blanks are made and I think the beans may sit different this way, or it could be the colors making it appear differently.
