Resin impregnated?

[OKLAHOMAN]

We need to get a new name for what we are calling worthless wood.
Having not had a show this week-end still sold 3 pens to co-workers (still working P/T 3 days a week) and all were resin impregnated so in my mind they sure aren't worthless.

These were cast yesterday;

This one was cast last week

Roy,
Look at Karl's posts in the Bus. Classifieds.
He's got some smart marketing going on && has crafted a blank that
is the basis of my new "Mapping" series pens.
You've got "Braided Streams" in the second one pictured above.

A hell of a lot better than worthless!!! Thanks Gary and Karl, I guess I'll have to follow with some thing along those lines.

Land of lakes collection?!?!?! Glad I could be of help. [}]

Beautiful pens. I need to try that.

Yes. Was looking through Karl's sight and was struck by his imaginative naming of blanks. I've always felt "Worthless Wood" could be a turnoff!

Surely, no one is presenting these pens to customers as 'worthless'. If so, I would recommend taking a marketing class prior to trying to sell any more pens.

I like "Resin-Impregnated!"

I call them damn beautiful!!! Should have a contest. My entry is Resinated Wood.[:0]

 

[Gary Max]

Resinated works for me--Tanner you did good--that "Impregnated" part just don't work for me.

You better keep the resin away from the wood. You will end up with a bunch of plastic trees running around.

I suppose even if the look changed a bit, "preggy" wouldn't work then either, huh?[}]

Very nice blanks and pens Roy!! I am seriously envious of the fun you are having here!!![][]

Since many of the "Earthy" names seem to been taken, - and your blanks are "Out Of This World" .. What about place names from the Moon, or Mars, or....?
The Sea of Tranquillity, Sea of Serenity, etc .... just a thought.[?]

Those look great, Roy, but I didn't even know that resin and wood could breed.[}][]
