I am still on my "use up my cutoffs" phase.

I am still enjoying digging around in my scrap pile for bits & pieces, and making blanks, then pens.

Here's a shot of some blanks I made yesterday


The blank 4th from the right ended up as a Dayacom "Professor", and I think it looks pretty cool. It's Yellowheart, Padauk and Purple dyed Maple burl.

Nothing wrong those. Looks like you are having FUN! Darn nice.

Those all look great!

I like hammering the resin cutoffs into small pieces and filling the mold with then followed by some clear resin to make "stained glass" blanks. Best put on a nickel plated or painted barrel.

You are going to get some more really nice pens out of those blanks. Thanks for showing.

Check out the first two entries in the segmenting section of the library for some different challenges.

Very nice.

I like the way the Professor pen turned out. A nice combination of woods and colors.

Using those cut-offs can be an endless process but a lot of fun. It sure is a change of pace.

I have been working my way through that section of the library over the past year or so. There's a lot to learn!

That's exactly it - a change of pace. And it can be fun to mix & match, and see what I get.
