This pen was inspired by the Casting Contest. I entered a cigar pen made of Bordeaux resin and brass shavings that didn't win anything. I made this one later. It features brass shavings cast in PR colored with Blue/Green Duochrome mica powder on a TiGold 2-tone Tapa Pacifica kit.
It's an interesting effect, but probably not one I'll recreate again soon. The blank was challenging to turn. The brass pieces tendend to snag and pull out. I also had to put a CA finish over the blank to keep it from tarnishing. It is pretty in the right light, though.
I hope you enjoy it,
Eric
