Bob is all out of free blanks.
I was recently contacted by Bob Gibbs, of Garden Grove CA. He is a penmaker, and casts various things in clear epoxy. I don't believe that Bob is a member here, but I've encouraged him to join.
He sent me some blanks made with Sweet Gum seeds cast in amber, and asked me to get those out to you for comments. Bob doesn't sell blanks, he just enjoys casting unusual things and giving them away. These look petty interesting, but I don't have a photo of a finished pen. The blanks are 3.5" x 0.75" Bob says they have some voids. I believe he vacuum casts.
All Bob wants in return is a nice photo of the pens you make, and your comments on how you liked the blanks.
I will send the first three people to post in this thread three of these blanks. Then you can communicate directly with Bob and let him know your thoughts on these. He's also told me he'll send additional blanks to people who contact him by email.
Post here that you want them, then PM me your mailing address. The blanks are free and shipping is on me.
