Guess the Material

[imagine]

This would have been my submission for the ugly pen contest but my wife likes it to much. Can any body guess what the material is?[}]

 

[ericw95]

Bee or wasp nest? Pomegranite?

 

[leatherjunkie]

dyed corn cob?

 

[les-smith]

Red Corn.

 

[NavyDiver]

Honey comb?

 

[dfurlano]

I always get these wrong... sponge?

 

[laurie sullivan]

how about a paper wasp nest. sliced and cast.

 

[wudnhed]

I Like it! HMMMM......it looks like pomegranate but not sure......not straight enough rows for corn cob........I dunno but still like the pen!

 

[airrat]

Candle wax wrapped around the blank and then cast in dyed resin?


Just a wild guess since all the others are taken, I have yet to try to cast anything, not even sure if that would work.

 

[BigRob777]

I'd have to say some sort of fish skin, like sting ray. I've caught a couple of 35 pounders. I still have the stinger from one of them.

[imagine]

Good guesses all...but no.[}][]I will give a hint...its not mineral, or animal, nor made by man or insect.[]

 

[Ron Mc]

LOL....Is it Okra?

 

[rangair94]

some kind of shell

 

[ericw95]

Coral?

 

[GaryMGg]

Blackberries?

 

[fiferb]

Honeycomb?

 

[skiprat]

You're all wrong!!! It's an Aero Chocolate bar that has passed it's sell by date[]

Cool pen though!!

 

[huntersilver]

Wow, it really must have been past its sell date[]

 

[Penmonkey]

Is it a sponge?

 

[johncrane]

could it be passion-fruit skin.[]

 

[imagine]

No one has gotten it right yet! I will just have to post a pic of the offending critter. Later this evening. [}] Everyone is giving me such good ideas for other things to try![] One more hint...It grows on trees.

 

[ericw95]

Banksia pod

 

[BigRob777]

Spanish Moss? Lichen?

 

[rangair94]

Casuarina Pods

 

[imagine]

Getting warmer! Just a little closer to home.(East Tennessee)[]

 

[ericw95]

Tree onion/Honey locust pods/Mimosa pods

 

[clewless]

Osage Orange fruit

 

[imagine]

OK OK I give, its actually sweet gum balls![]

They weren't very good to chew tho.LoL[]

 

[BigRob777]

Wow. Nice going.
Rob

 

[rangair94]

I thought about those but they are are small so I didnt think so. I did see a lot of cool things to make pens from looking for the answer. what did you fill them with?

 

[imagine]

Allen,
I just used a little CA. OK well maybe a LOT of CA.[][]

 

[chigdon]

That has been something I have been planning to try for a very long time. You beat me to it and it looks very cool.

 

[Alexander]

I CANT STAND THE SUSPENSE..... I would have probably guessed coral as well. Possibly a sand/gravel/resin homebrew.

 

[Fred]

Danged if you ain't gone and done found a use for those stinking littles balls. Now I just know you will accept the VERY large crate of them that I will send you ASAP!

In all honesty they are very well done. Great job!
