I have peeked as these for a while now, and last week finally ordered three for some special occasions:
https://www.exoticblanks.com/Rotacrylic-Pen-Blanks/
The SCUBA diver is for a long-standing dive buddy (250+ dives together since 1986); Best Man in his wedding; a fellow Chemistry Major with my wife.
The Drama Theme is for his daughter who is entering College to major in Theatre Arts (Also a dive buddy).
The Sky Diver is for my eldest son who just logged his 1,000 sky dive.
I made custom finials for the SCUBA diver and the Sky Diver as there was ample material left. I left the Drama Theme finial as it already matched the black color.
I have no idea what blend Jeff uses for his blanks (something in the water in Michigan...), but these are Alumilite, and turned the easiest I have ever turned. (And I cast my own Alumilite occasionally).
