The addiction continues-carbon fiber pendant

[CaptG]

Some how, some way I will get even with the people who started this addiction. A couple months ago I had an idea for a carbon fiber finial. I put a piece of cf on the bottom of a mixing cup that had about 1/16 inch dried pr in it, then poured another 1/16 inch over it. I put this carbon fiber puck away with the intention of using a plug cutter to remove a piece that I was going to use to replace the button on a Jr. Gent cap. When I read Maxman400's thread with his alumilite pendant, the bells and sirens went off. Out to the shop it was. The carbon fiber was a bit frayed on one side, but for my button I had plenty of material to work with. The pendant used most of it so the fray shows, but I actually like the way it looks, but what do I know, I am a madman now, he he he. It has a few scratches yet, but I will buff them out in the morning, I am sneaking off to bed now before LOML figures I been back out in the shop this late.

Interesting use of the fibre. Looks like you had some trouble with the polishing.

Very nice Gary, How much for 3 CF pendants? My wife and 2 girls would love them.

Looks Awesome Capt. The frayed edge gives it contrast, but I am sure you are already working on the perfect one.

Looks great. I knew somebody would take this idea and run with it. As far as the addiction goes, do we need to do an intervention?

 

[Rollerbob]

Yep, as I suspected, nicely done, CaptG!
