These blanks have got to be the easiest to turn next to Steampunk pre-tubed blanks. No matter what tool I used nice ribbons came off. They may not appear different but one is chrome and one is gun metal. I bought them from Exotic Blanks and I'd love to know who made them and what they used to cast them. Please let me know what material was used, kindly be sure in your answer as I may try to cast using this material myself. If you wish to be anonymous then send me a PM.

Thanks Mark! I appreciate your feedback! Your pens looks great ! They were cast with Alumilite Clear Urethane resin. It really is nice stuff to turn. I sent you a PM.

These pens sell quickly. A customer bought one flag bolt for her son who works at Nellis Air Force Base December 12th. He brought his new pen to work and many, many people wanted one too. She is coming in to the shop where I sell my pens to buy 5-10 more! Yes siree Bob that will be great.

Thanks JohnU again.
