One for my Dentist

[Mike8850]

Here's a pen I made for my dentist.
I cast the blank with blue Alumilite and the teeth are white Corian.
All comments and suggestions are welcome.
Thanks for looking.

Are they laser cut?

Very nicely done

My wife won't let me buy a laser so I cut them out 1/8 thick Corian with my scrollsaw.
I then sanded the backs to match the curve of the tube and epoxied them to the tube.
I then casted the tube in Alumilite.

Mike,
Very innovative and a great looking pen. The teeth look almost too real. I'm with you on my thoughts about dentists, but when you kids ask .... well you know. Thanks for sharing.

That is a great job, wonderful craftsmanship. Wish I had a reason to visit the dentist :biggrin:

I have some acrylic denture teeth(not currently where I'm at). I might try to insert one into an acrylic blank.
