I am looking for a blank that resembles a white tiger. If any of you can come up with one, please let me know. I need one to make a pen for a friend and would take 2 or 3 blanks. Please help! Thanks

Don't know how close you could come to making those look like tiger skin Shane!
Bev,
I actually have been trying to think of a way to make them. I took my son back to his summer intern job at college (3 hours away) and believe it or not my son and I batted ideas back and forth for at least an hour! He knew nothing about PR (he does now) but loves problem solving. I have a couple of ideas I plan on trying tomorrow. The problem with PR is it is difficult to "train" to do what you want. I have already had 2 failures.
I'll give it another try and let you know. Alice

why not draw what you want on a piece of paper, then glue it to the brass and clear-cast around it...

I am sure you will get something that will work Bev.
Hi Bev, I cast some more blanks this morning. I will post the pic of the blanks after they set up. I think I have a good cast this time! I think this will do it. Alice
Bev, It is difficult to see what the end results will be. More black will show when they are turned. Send me your address and I will send these out as soon as I am sure they are set up well. I hope these will do. Alice
