I decided to experiment with casting a pen the other day. I first turned the upper and lower tubes to a very slim, well used slimline bushings. After doing so, I wiped everything down with acetone, plugged both ends of the tubes (with led shot inside) and dropped them in some casting resin. After cutting everything out on my band-saw, I re-turned the pen tubes to the comfort pen bushings... but a little prouder than I did with the first time I turned.
I was amazed with how the polished resin draws the wood to the surface.
Just another experiment for future pens in mind....
BTW, the top is ironwood separated by aluminium. the bottom is bamboo. This is the second one with this design but the first didn't get the resin.
