Here are the pens I turned from paint residue. I was given some dried paint lumps and managed to turn two standard twist pens and an Omega Fountain pen from Talors Mirfield.
It is still a bit hairy to turn as if it gets too warm it starts to delineate and flies all over. I use a tungsten tipped chisel I made some years ago and as long as I don't get too impatient it works fine.
I finish with wet and dry to 1400 and t cut

Has the appearance of the coloured wood and the ply Woody got from Grump. The laminated effect is immediate. Quite a novelty well turned.
