Achoo!

I didn't want to hijack the thread about casting pepper so I thought I'd post this photo of the pen I just finished last week. A fellow turner focuses on peppermills and asked me to cast some pen blanks of his pepper mix. I had some peppercorns left so decided to add some poppy seed into the cast also. This is the resulting pen. It certainly was 'fragrant' turning it.

C&C welcome.

Excellent!!! Nice job.

That is awesome! One question, after it is turned to size did you or is there a need to seal the cut pepper corns with CA to prevent the user from handling pepper?
Thanks and once again - awesome.

Michael, your pen is nothing to "sneeze" at. Really like the results that you have shown. Great work.

 

[SteveJ]

That is one cool pen. Makes me want to start casting!

 

[Jim Burr]

I really want a salad....

Cool pen, makes me wish I hadn't just thrown out nearly a full gallon of Silmar 41.

I want to try it, how many times did you sneeze while turning it?

 

[JohnU]

Nice job! The poppy seeds really add a certain contrast that makes it all pop! I like the looks of black pepper. I tried hot pepper seed once and that was enough. Lol

 

[CharlesJohnson]

I might have to try this for my first cast .It looks Great.

 

[Haynie]

That is really cool. Does it still smell or has the PR and CA sealed it off?

Pretty much any blank made out of cast foodstuffs is going to need a good CA finish, in my opinion.

 

[Fishinbo]

How awesome!

Thats a very cool pen michael.

 

[micharms]

Thanks everyone for your comments.

None for sale ........yet but you never know. I haven't done any casting for a while.

I did have to seal it with CA so now there is no smell of pepper to it.
