Here are some recent slimline PC pens. Two are first time experiments that took a few runs at it with results. I wanted to make a pencil with music. The procedure is to photocopy what you want to scale after first reversing the image. (This occurred to me at the last minute) once the PC is wrapped tightly the blank (tube) is held under cool running water and with soft finger persuasion the paper is dissolved and washed away leaving the photo copy ink behind. Bake and assemble. A coat of wipe on urethane gives it a light golden tone I wanted a aged paper look. The black pen bottom is turned Corian the thin brass center band was turned on my small metal lathe. The pencil is for a Music Director and the other is for a lifelong Thespian. Also getting further into making canes, PC can be somewhat addictive. The one wood pen that slipped into the mix is an Australian Cypress from a free wood floor sample from Home Depot. Love those little free Squares. I hope they are not listening 8*)..... JB
