I have been working on blanks in different colors. The carbon fiber blanks are black, then for a two tone they mix materials like carbon fiber/fiberglass, carbon fiber/kevlar, and so on. These mix's are a lot thicker and stiffer than the carbon fiber and a real bear to work with. Then I found a light weight fiber glass in assorted colors and decided to give it a go. I am having mixed feelings about the end results. The fiber glass lays a lot flatter and does not give the depth that the carbon fiber does. Also the fiber glass came to me with a lot of "specks" and tiny pieces of "stuff" on the fiber. It is not really apparent untill after casting and the round, clear pr acts like a magnifying glass. They are not bad looking pens, but they are not what I would sell. Tell me what you think. All comments welcome and appreciated. The yellow shows the weave the best. I have a green and also a blue that are darker and show less weave than the red.
