Something new

[MesquiteMan]

Here is something I have not seen posted before. I am sure it has been done, just have not seen it posted. It is Magnolia seed pods cast in Magma Red resin. Finish is CA.

Oh, did I mention that there are 2 lots of these blanks up for auction at www.penefit.org? :biggrin:

Very nice. I have a handful of Magnolia pods, I collected, to give it a try when I get a pressure pot.. Nicely Done...

I said it before and I'll say it again, you're a Mad Scientist Curtis! Awesome work

Mighty fine pen.

 

[bitshird]

Cool pen Curtis, great idea.

 

[ROOKIETURNER]

I like those colors together. The blanks should get a pretty good penny!

That is really beautiful, Curtis. I've bid on one of the sets. I doubt I'll get them, but at the very least, I can help drive the price up!

That's really sweet looking Curtis. Like it a lot. I don't know what a magnolia seed pod looks like, but as a pen it rocks.

Beautiful pen Curtis. The colors are awesome and the fit and finish are nothing to sneeze at, either. Good job.

I collected some pods last year and never got to cast them, wish I had, yours look great. I also pulled the seeds to dry and attempt to cast them also.

I saw these when they went up on the penefit. I originally bid on some but have been outbid. We'll how high I go. I do have my eye on something else there.

Curtis, great looking pen! It turned out fantastic

Jeff, the Magnolia tree has to be one of the nastiest trees that God ever created. Because it is constantly dropping something. Flowers, pods, big waxy leaves, and limbs. When in bloom some people think they look and smell pretty, but all I see are things to clean up and the flowers smell like dirty sweat socks. If you can get something worth while out of them, you are doing better than 99% of the population.

Hey, that's a cool idea. I wish I had thought of it. Nice job on the pen too.
