Choya! Noone warmed me!

Noone warned me that this was going to be the craziest pen I've made thus far.

Now I had to figure how in the world I was going to fill in the hollow of this wood and keep it from coming out. Well I made it happen and this is what it looks like after it was all said and done.

P.S I don't have any of the vacuum or pressure pots etc.

Sorry for all the pics, I figured you'd enjoy my mess lol

Excellent job

That is pretty good considering you didn't cast it in a pressure pot!

Cholla cactus. Nicely done!

I've done a couple of pens from stabilized cholla cacti cast in Alumilite. Fun turn.

I didn't stabilize it with Alumilite, I used wood hardner and all it did was make it gummy. It was a fun turn, but stressful as well.

It turned out really well!
