Stone Pens

[Craftdiggity]

Here are some Alabaster and Soapstone pens I've been working on. The first three are made from Red Raspberry Alabaster, (Cigar, Majestic Jr., and Slim). The next one is a Slim made with African Wonderstone, which is a soapstone. Finally, another Slim made from Translucent Orange Alabaster. My customer didn't want any finish one these except mineral oil.

Those are cool! when you turn soapstone does it sharpen your tools?

Nice work. I know how tough the Alabaster is. You did real good!

Excellent pens Chris!

All very nice, but that last one (the orange) is just incredible!

I really like the stone pens and you did a great job on them all. I guess I need to get brave enough to try the alabaster I have. Did you paint the tubes on the alabaster ones?

I always paint the tubes with stone. The alabasters can be especially translucent, but there are many translucent soapstones as well.

Nice group of pens.

That African Wonderstone is flingin' flangin' sweet. Especially with the satin silver kit's contrast. They're all great, but that one really grabs me by the short attention span.
