This pen is made out of Jarra Burl and the natural voids are filled with Powdered Aluminum. The beautiful blank was provided by Purplehaze.

That is a nice pen and an interesting blank. Do you know, is the aluminum powder mixed with resin or CA or something? Sorry for the newbie question, just curious how that is done.

I just grabbed me a glove and worked some thick ca glue into a small pile of the powder. it took a while cause the ca repelled the aluminum... it started pasting on me before i even had it near the blank, but it turned out for the better cause it stuck right into the voids without any problems. i now just have to hone my ca finish skills...
