Finished this pen tonight with the help from artist Jeff Powell over on exotics who was kind enough to cast this pinecone blank and offer it up for sale. It takes a little work to turn these and fill the minor voids, but well worth the effort when finished.
Majestic Pen kit, 2 coats of thin CA, and 8 coats of medium CA. I really love the effects the cone/resin mix gives. My son still says it looks like dragon scales on the pen...he's almost 6:biggrin:
