My vote is solid surface ivory??[?]

Yes, please explain birthday Barons.

 

[Gregory Huey]

Very nice job Lou I will vote for man made Ivory.

Very nice Lou, I would say white holly, if it was alt ivory, I think it would be shinier. One thing it is,.................a sharp looking pen.

 

[WoodChucker]

Those are some great looking pens! That holly looks a lot like Olive wood to me, it sure has some nice grain. Good work!

Good stuff Lou . As for the white one , I don't have a clue , the only white I've done is Aspen and it sometimes comes up slightly bone colored .

 

[DCBluesman]

Thanks for the comments and guesses. The two pens are for friends' birthdays. The second pen is faux ivory, cast out of these resins everyone has been talking about. The "bone" color was what I hoped for and I got lucky!

Competition in the casting business, EH [] Your formula turned out just right [] Pretty soon, we will be like a bunch of old ladies, trading resin reciepies []

Hmmm possibly a chunk of antler?
Beautiful pens Lou.
What is the Diameter of the shaft just above the nib?

 

[DCBluesman]

Thanks, Eagle. No it's casting resin. The OD of the cap-end barrel is 13.60mm and the OD of the nib-end barrel is 12.20mm.
