Top to bottom, a gold kit on a mica swirl in polyester resin, a chrome kit on a PR green crush in brown and a gunmetal kit on a nice piece of Palo Santo
The topmost mica swirl is actually the topmost pen seen here, but refitted with a gold kit for a colleague who liked the look of it. Here's the original blank.
The crushed material for the middle pen was leftovers from this perfume atomiser project, but cast in brown just to see what it looked like.
The bottom one probably deserves a thread of its own, but in the meantime, here's a photo of the finished barrel and the unassembled kit parts:
and this is a video of it being roughed round and centre drilled:

It it really hard and turned really smooth. There's a SINGLE layer of CA on it, really just to make the sapwood streak blend in a little better.
