Hi Mark,
Dave got it dead on, diligence, and more diligence. I do a lot of pine cone and gum ball pens, and end up filling and sanding several times before getting a no pit surface. Make sure the cones are as dry as can be before casting. To prevent chipping at the ends, coat with thin CA and let dry , then sand; I hate it when that happens ! I often coat several times during turng to stop chip outs. Irv Last edited by senfschneider55; 11-10-2017 at 03:16 AM. Reason: additional info |

Just to clarify, I didn't cast it, I bought it.
The advice is spot on. Fill, sand, fill, sand, once you get it perfectly filled and sanded, then cut down to finish size. I appreciate the offer for a new blank. I just received 100 Rhino blanks in the mail, so I am sure I will make due with something. |
