    Almost finished 2

    Hi all, another two for my Christmas customer, these are the TQ blanks I posted the other day.... The light blue is my favorite with diamond dust in the cast. I painted the hole light blue after drilling and used Gorilla PU to fix the tubes.

    Holo Glitter

    I got this idea after watching a Zac Higgins video. The pen is a Concava in black enamel with black holographic glitter cast in clear polyester resin. The tubes were painted black and the castings were tube-in.

    Brown mallee

    As promised Brown Mallee Burl as I only know it ,ie I have selectively bought over 40 yrs. In fact the larger Cue Stick piece and the other pen blank must be in the order of that old cut,well dried prior to this. I find it photographs shyly with a slight cast . However this is the (IMHO) the...

    A few label cast blanks

    A few label cast blanks, ready for casting. As far as I’m aware ours are the only moulds you can cast 8 tubes at a time in one single mould, plus the moulds easily stack on top each other for use in a pressure pot.

    Mopani

    Hi all, A local store is selling Mopani wood which has been cleaned etc. It would look OK if cast in a hybrid pen blank. I was wondering if anyone has made any pen blanks out of this root or cast it in some resin. Cheers Frederick

    Kitless - Emerald City diamond cast

    Made a few kitless pens in the last week or so, and I am still very new to this. My main challenge with the first few was the finish on the external barrel threads. Even though they cut cleanly they were always looking a bit lacklustre compared to the rest of the barrel once I’d finished...
