Hi peoples,
I've got some interesting stuff that grows in my own yard and that this year it finally produced enough to make a few pen blanks that will be Resifills (resin filled) when done. These were picked-up last Saturday, today I picked-up enough for another 2 blanks and I'm expecting to get a few more for another 2 or 3 blanks, in the next couple of days so, I should get about 12 blanks or so and than hope that the tree does well for next year's yield...!
There are 33 of these "things" on each bamboo stick (full size pen blanks), I used about 40 of them to complete each "kabob" each piece has to be drilled and they break easily...!
I actually already cast 2, different colours and turn them into samples to have a look of how they will look, however, I only went from square to round, the samples are still about 20mm or better so, is obvious that I didn't turn deep/thin enough (to average pen size) as I want those samples to be used to make pens and waste nothing...!
I will offer 1 (one) blank to the person that guesses what they are or what they have come from, I can say that, they are produced by a tree once every year, just around this time, here in South Australia so, name the tree species name, and 1 cast blank with colour of your choice (at this point) is yours free of charge...!:wink::biggrin:
Good luck,
Cheers
George
