Poll?? Boooooooooooo! It's YOUR blank, YOU should pick the name!:wink::biggrin: Now it's just another popularity contest.
Making a poll:
First, narrow down your favourites to a couple of choices...
Start a new thread in the 'Polls, surveys and votes' category (listed along with Casual Conversation, individual classifieds, etc.)...

OK I will stick with the original plan, I will announce the winner tomorrow (Monday Night) I will do a short list of 20 of the one's I thought were really good, and then the top 5 on a 2nd posting, and on the 3rd posting the winner. The winner can PM me with there address details so that I can ship out the blank. Is there anyway the admins of the forum can post it on the front page just to let people know what the outcome is.
There's still time to get them last names in.
Many thanks to all once again

Troubled Clouds
Divine Justice
Hurried Clouds
Gathered Wrath
Observed Violence
Garnered Anger

to suggest a few ...
Glad it's your decision to make. I believe these will make some very interesting pen blanks and even be good for bottle stoppers.
When will you make these available to the rest of us ... or do you plan on selling them? :biggrin:

How about:
Deja VooDoo
Sublimation
Ice Sublime
Eutectic Collapse
Black Ice
It's funny how many good names come to mind. If I were trying to come up with something for myself, I'd be drawing a blank.

After all of the trouble I went through defending my 'proprietary' blank names I see this thread that has more creativity and coolness in it than I'd ever come up with.
Who ARE you people and what'd you do with all of my imagination-challenged pen turning cohorts?!
Beautiful blanks, Splint!
I 'spose it's too late to enter my offering, but I'll give it a stab:
"Super cool white and black (er...maybe pearly translucent and dark silver) blanks painstakingly swirled together in various stages of gel stasis, realizing in a physical object the conundrum of contrast between bleak and bright, riddled with intriguing concepts of brooding, ghostly darkness melding with the purity of ethereal innocence, in a heretofore unbridled joining of the surrealistic and tangible planes"?
Yeah...that'd be tough to fit on a label I guess, but you know...I thought I'd give it a shot. heh
