my worthless wood cast

[markgum]

At the last Northern CA Bubbasville meeting some Jay was kind enough to help us all (most of us) cast some worthless wood / stuff. The pen is my first attempt at a casting/turning. It was fun; now trying to convince SWMBO that I need to spend money to get all the Resin; Pot; molds etc so I can make more. All I got was 'THAT LOOK' Has anyone else turned their cast from that meeting?
yes, I need to work on the photos. But turning is so much more fun. As always comments are appreciated.

They turned out very nice. I like the lighter pen.

They look very nice. Background needs to go.

They look very nice. Background needs to go.

Ya, the red is very distracting.

Nice job on the pens. Guess we created a new addiction with the WW stuff.

Like the second pen best, Has that native american feel to it.

Great work casting your own. Now that you've got your foot in the door, you're set.

I think it's got a little too much acrylic and needs more wood. Personal taste.

Nice looking worthless wood, geez I miss casting, I have some great worthless wood, unfortunatly I also have a worthless table saw, and a worthless index finger. and about 2 gallons of resin sitting in a 100 degree building.

Man, bring that resin in the house. Left in the heat it'll harden up, believe me!

Mark,
The pens looks great. I love the turq. color.

 

[Ligget]

I like those pens, however, as Skye says a little more wood would indeed be better.

They look fantastic Mark! I wish you all the best in your future casting dreams!
