Environ Pens.

Hi all,

Here is a picture of the 7 pens made from Environ, the paper composite pen blank

I am donating these pens to an auction to benefit one of my other interests, a paper model convention.

Just something to tie everything together that I do

I'd think that sort of blank could benefit from segmentation with more of the same material. Does it turn like regular resin?

It was ok
I found that I had to sharpen my tools after every blank, the fine grained stuff wasn't as problematic than the coarser ones.

but finishing them was just like any resin filled blank.

Nice pens. Turn easy. I think thats the same thing that's made of paper by products & soy bean oil. Used in counter tops.. But must be stabilized with something else. I found a CA finish really brightens it up more than a friction polish.

it is made from paper and soy based stuff, but it is not Corian, two different materials
