[size=+1]Additional blanks are available - See Post #7 below![/size]

I've been casting a fair amount of resin lately, and have several surplus pen blanks. So, I'm offering some of them up for sale. These blanks are all made with Alumilite White and/or Alumilite RC3 Black. They are opaque, so unless you are going to turn them paper-thin, reverse-painting should not be necessary.

White Alumilite and Black Alumilite resins make the easiest-turning pen blanks I have ever come across. It doesn't tend to chip or shatter, cuts in nice ribbons, polishes well, and can readily be tapped and threaded for making kitless pens. These blanks really make me feel like I know what I'm doing at the lathe.

Here they are. All blanks are at least 0.75 inch square and 5.5 inches long.

Marble Series - These blanks are primarily one color with streaks of either white or dark tints, making a marble-like appearance. $7.00 each.

13 - [strike]"Charcoal Marble" (off-black with white marbling)[/strike] sold!
14 - "Charcoal Marble"
15 - "Charcoal Marble"

Color Swirl Series - These blanks are a highly swirled mix of white and color that yield very striking pens. You can veiw a couple of representative samples at "Orange Creamsicle" and "Blue and White Swirl". $7.00 each.

29 - "Blue Swirl"
30 - "Blue Swirl"
31a - [strike]"Blue Swirl" (please forgive my numbering error - see below)[/strike] sold!

White and Black Swirl - A simple but stunning combination of white with black swirls. If you like "Two-Faced", you'll like these blanks. I can't guarantee that they'll turn out two-sided, but a couple of them look promising. $7.00 each.

Pen Blanks by Eric

Pictures below are of the "Green Marble" on a chrome Cigar kit.

These blanks are exceptional. Eric does a great job. I am far from the upper echelon of pen turners, but these blanks are sharp looking when completed! A real plus, they are very easy to turn and finish!
Thanks Eric!
Randy
