Pen turning Bloodwood and Maple shavings and cast in Polyester Resin using a Sierra tube and the Resin Saver mold.
Turned, sanded to 400 grit, buffed with super fine steel wool and polished with Huts Ultra Gloss.

Les, that makes a great looking blank!

 

[Caden_Hrabak]

Such a neat idea that looks great

 

[Skye]

Wow, that's insane! Not sure what it is about it but it's really really good looking. I guess because it's actually wood, it reminds me of a super complex burl. You may need to make shavings just to recreate that!

 

[PaulDoug]

I don't want to interrupt this thread but, Skye where have you been? I miss you critiques of pens. You were always dead on.

 

[Alexanderpens]

Beautiful pens! I've also got a couple of bricks of resin out there. Mine aren't of just one type though.

 

[Skye]

Hey there Paul, almost didn't recognize you with a different avatar, lol

Eh, I suck. When it gets too hot or too cold to turn, I hop off the bandwagon. Granted, it's probably been a year, so that's not a real valid excuse lol

 

[aggromere]

That is beautiful. Wish I could cast.

Really man it's not that hard. Just go to walmart and buy an icecube tray meant for water bottles. Go to Michael's and buy a small container of 'Castin Craft' resin with a 40% off coupon. For a total of $20 out of pocket, you've got enough to cast a dozen pen blanks, especially if you use shavings for colorant like Les did.

That's a beauty! So if I send you an envelope full of shavings from my shop vac......
=)~

Les, that is a beautiful combination you have. I would say you have mastered this recycle thing. The pen is definitely a keeper. Did I say WOW?

 

[Ligget]

Awesome pen Les, beautiful blank!

Very nice pen. Reminds me of amboyna burl.
