Blue coffee ground!

[Jeepmiller09]

So I took the coffee bean idea and used old coffee ground s I think it turned out really cool looking and it smells like coffee! Also it gives the pen some texture! My only problem is I can't seem to get a scratchless finish epically any time there is black in the blank. I use the colored wet sanding pads that go from 600 to 12,000 I believe. I don't have a buffing wheel set up would that help?

I was thinkin about doin a coffee ground pen... Not a coffee drinker so I didn't wanna waste the money on coffee and let it go to waste. Looks great though! You're right, makes a cool looking blank

Don`t see your scratches . If you want a high gloss finish , you will have to overcoat it with CA , but you will lose some texture . Looks good to me , so I would leave it as is .

A buffing system will never hurt you or your work.

It is a must in my finishing.

Yes! I've done several blanks with grit inclusions. You have to apply heavy layers of CA to fill in the pits and smooth the grits.

Excellent blank, Brian.
I love the thought that it gives off the Smell of Coffee.
As much as I love coffee, to me, it never tastes as good as it smells, especially, when it is being Ground.
Can I have mine with Cream, Please.
As long as the small pieces are not breaking off, I would leave it as it is.
If not then the buckets of CA is the way to go.
Congratulations,
Brian.
