Been playing with some Carbera kits. I really like these pens, they show off the blanks well, are simple to assemble, and fit together better than the Sierras (IMO). Kits are from Berea (via Ernie at Bear Tooth)
Michigan Black Cherry Burl with bright copper Carbera and Mylands 3-step finish:
Ultramarine Blue Dyed Box Elder Burl with chrome Carbera and CA/BLO finish:
My wife is the manager of a Starbucks satellite, so I wanted to make something unique for her. Every one is casting grape nuts, shredded wheat, corn cobs, rice, THEIR PARENTS ASHES (gah![]), so I figured I'd be able to pull off some coffee beans. Turned out even better than I'd hoped!
Coffee Beans cast in pearlized resin with shredded gold leaf, polished to MM 12000, plastic polish and micro wax. Kit is a satin copper Carbera. :
