I've been looking for the perfect pen to give to the chef at the Boulders Resort. Split Pea Soup is the one. Really cool looking pen!!! I have to order a couple of those if you're offering. I also can't wait for my Cancun blanks to arrive. All pens are superb!!!!

I love the Cancun. It does look like the beach. I wish I was there. Wonderful finish and blanks.

These are fantastic. My sister inlaw works for a soy bean company and keeps asking for a bean pen. Im inspired here..... Very nice!

That array of pens is awesome and beautiful, love them all. PS, is Aluminite some type of new resin?!! Whatever it is you did an excellent work. Amos[]

 

[ElMostro]

Woodenink, to answere your question reference Alumilite.

Alumilite is a two part resin that solidifies when mixed. It comes in White (like the posted pen) Regular, which has a slight amber color, Black and Water clear. It is a bit pricy if you buy it in small quantities but unlike poly resin there is no guessing on the amount of catalist to add depending on weather and temp.
I use it bec it is very low odor and a fast set time. Take a look at the site and if after that you have any questions I will be happy to assist. I have worked about 20 gallons of the stuff so far so I have screwed up enough by now to help others not to.

Alumilite Water Clear
Produces a high impact rigid clear casting that is commonly used for lenses, encapsulations, and water reproductions. Vacuum or pressure is recommended to achieve 100% bubble free castings.

Excellent work with pens and the blanks.[]

I see you did keep some good blanks out of that oak burl for yourself. Congrats on great work. I've got one turned, and waiting on some more tooling to start on the rest, I'll post them as a group when I get done.

 

[broitblat]

I think I'd have to pass on the peas, but they all look spectacular! I particularyly like the way the coffee beans are spaced out and the lava flow.

Thanks, Eugene

Nice! What about lentels and alumilite?

 

[ElMostro]

Yep, I have done lentils too. Both crushed and whole. They look similar to split peas but tan-ish.
