The PITH pen I sent John (Twissy) made it across the Atlantic and has arrived. I sent him a two page letter of the adventure that led to the pen I had sent him, but I will keep it very simple here. My original idea had a ton of segments and I kept blowing it out. I eventually changed the idea to a new one that had less segments, but in the end I never got to make it because of Hurricane Sandy. My basement ended up with a bunch of water in it and I had left my miter saw on the floor when I cleaned my work bench off :frown: Needless to say, it rusted solid and I couldn't cut segments anymore. I had to turn to casting. I was determined to do something I had never done before for casting, and that was a 3 color blank with clear as the third "color". I was quite happy with the way it came out, especially for the first attempt. I had asked him his favorite color - which was yellow, so this was the result (If you are wondering about the speckles on the black, the clear I added Macro Pearl PearlEx to, just a very small amount):
