Was playing with new colors on my Dragonhide blanks (PR cast Norway Spruce cones that I make), and wanted to see how the color looked, and also wanted to turn one that uses my improved casting process.
This one's called "Dragonhide - Toxic", bias-drilled to bring some of the core of the cone into the final barrel. I wish that I'd have drilled it off center the other way, so the 'wedge' shape portion of the cone core would've been situated under the clip. I think that would've looked a lot better.
I'm working on a tutorial for turning these things, they're a real pain. Pain to cast, pain to turn, pain to finish, but they come out looking like nothing else when you get them done!
