An excellent thread about the definition and virtues of poly resin, acrylic, urethane, epoxy and several more pen blank materials has been hot recently and somewhere in the thread an interesting question was posed.
"If you wanted to make the most awesome looking pen possible, what material would you use?"
Nevermind if it is difficult to turn, expensive, hard to find, or the source of other headaches; what material from the man-made materials family makes the most awesome pens. Lets not get into all the overcasting and embedding options.
What material do you think, based on your pen making experience, makes the most awesome pens?
