Abalone Prize Blanks!!

[Rolandranch]

I finally got around to turning the beautiful abalone blanks that I won in the Summer Extravaganza contests. I was very pleased with the results!
Thank you Mr. Robbins for donating these amazing pen blanks!


This is an Emperor fountain pen and my first Dayacom kit. I was very impressed with the quality of the kit.

I thought an abalone shell would make a cool display.

Well done, Seth !!!!! . I have enjoyed some of those abalone blanks also ... they do make superb pens. . I have given a Robbins abalone Emperor to each of my 4 sons/wives/families.

Looking forward to seeing some more of your work, Seth, in the Birthday BASH next month !!!!!

Wow. Great job with those. They look great. Good job with the photos as well. Sometimes it is hard to capture the color. Looks like you did great!

Thanks!! I have actually been experimenting with my own abalone casting because I like to do as much of the work as I can (plus it's a lot of fun). I will be posting the results soon (hopefully). I haven't done the Birthday BASH yet but hope to this year!
