I finally reached a confidence level that let me try with more pricey parts. As lots of watch pen makers use carbon fiber, I am shying away from that to differentiate myself a little. I finally found a formula that works for me. These two, I just pulled out of the pot, I am extremely happy with them.

are you selling these?
Nope, I haven't sold any blanks. Thought about it but never have.

Crystal clear and really well designed. I like the colors as well. Definitely differentiating. Thanks for sharing.

FWIW, I like the clean, neat background colors - very attractive.
They do have a texture, the photos don't pick it up, for some reason.

I may be mistaken, but it almost looks like a thread-wrap? Just a slight texture left to right? I saw this initially, but was unsure... It is subtle, but maybe I saw it.
Not a thread wrap, but the pictures kind of look that way. In person they are absolutely gorgeous. I'm not planning on turning them very soon. From what I gather most resins aren't fully cured before a week of being cast. Sometimes patience isn't my strong suit.

Wow! Very nice. The only negative thing is that they're taking away from your segmenting. I always enjoy seeing what your doing there. Not that I'm enjoying your casting I might think the same thing when I see your segmenting. Maybe I should just say " I Always Enjoy Seeing Your Work". I even enjoyed checking out your deck you posted a while back.
Thanks Kenny, I'm thinkin about ways of combining the two...there is no end to this rabbit hole

That's so true. The only limitations is your imagination and finances. That short list is in no particular order.Thanks Kenny, I'm thinkin about ways of combining the two...there is no end to this rabbit hole
