Here's my latest chrome Sierra DRYWALL(sort of) pen that was made for a friend of mine that sells this new product:
"Revolutionary solid improvement, when used in lieu of gypsum drywall and/or cement board, that is usable for all indoor and outdoor purposes. Provides hard, long lasting walls that look and feel like hard cement plastering but fireproof and resistant to damage from water, humidity, freezing, organisms, chlorine, salt and more. Excellent for sound proofing applications. The ideal wallboard for pool buildings, garages, kitchen and wet areas or any of the more demanding locations in buildings".
In summary this product will probably displace drywall in the market place since it offers so many advantages. The sheet product cuts on the bandsaw with ease and drills without effort. I did not notice any significant wear on my gouge and skew that were used to turn it down to form. The pen blank turned with ease and the turning 'residue' was completely in dust form. Wearing a respirator is a must when turning this product. Particles become airborne in an instant and you certainly don't want to inhale in your lungs. Best way to describe the turning experience, is that it's like someone turning a solidified chunk of cement. Sanding (down to 800 GR) assisted in giving me a smooth surface that was finally sealed with buffed turtle car wax.
Your comments (nay-yay) are of course welcomed.

Then again it looks a little like concrete.
