Beautiful pen! Certainly will be one of a kind. Who gets it after the convention is over? Can I volunteer? I wouldn't want it to just get packed away somewhere!

When I do closed ended pens that are resins or corian I exopy a small piece of wood to the end of the piece to be closed in. This makes it easy to use a live center to support the pen and form the shape before doing the very end.

Beautiful work. I really need to figure out how you do that. Guess I could steal the Abalone shell from my wife's collection and smash it bits and experiement.[:0]

Gerry I think that it would be eaiser and less painful to buy a bag of crushed shells off of Ebay. I don't remember exactly who it is that sells the stuff but I do know that I have seen it on Ebay. I think that if you were to swipe and crush your Wife's shells you may wake up with less bodily parts than what you went to bed with.

Hhhmmmm, now that's an idea for something else that would be probably new and unique that could be crushed and thrown in with some CA glue or resin and turned into a pen... [}:)][}:)] (OK men, stop wincing!)

Where did you get the faux abalone resin from? Great looking pen by the way!

Check out my gallery. I have a real Abalone pen in resin on there. That is the one I sent into PMG as an entry pen.
