I wanted to try my hand at casting and turning a "worthless wood" blank. I had a couple small pieces of Claro Walnut Burl that were cut offs from making some pen blanks out of some bowl cutoffs that a friend had given me. I pinned them into a mold when I was casting a batch of blue blanks. This is the result after making it into a pen.
The pen is an Elegant Beauty Sierra Click pen. I lengthened the barrel about a 1/4" to show off more of the blank. Had to add an adapter to the refill so that the clicker would still work. Casting material is Alumilite colored with blue Perlex powder. The brass tube was painted white. The finish is 10 coats of CA polished to 12000 MM and with a thin coat of Ren wax for feel.
Have to give Mesquiteman credit for the inspiration for this. He makes a lot of this style of blank.
