Hi peoples,
This was also another project that I worked on in this last week or so and I'm far from being happy with them, particularly the "hot dog" pen blank, I called it that because of the redish "filling" inside the pod...!:biggrin:
It looks much better before it was turned but, I'm not yet happy with the way it turners out when turned to average pen blank size/diameter.
The second one (pod cut in sections) is more promising but again, alignment needs to be improved. The resin colour of the second blank (all redish) is what I used to fill the inner pocket of the pod, its characteristics (Pearlex powder used) are better visible on the close ups of this all same colour blank, in fact, all the pics where taken from one blanks, the only one I cast but, light positions alter the colour significantly, something that is always a interesting effect but a nightmare to photograph when we want to show only a particular colour/shave of it...!
The first sample even though cast as doubles, its length is about 7" when each pod could be cast independently...!
What are you thoughts on both of these samples...???
Thank you,
Cheers
George
