Authentic Thin Blue Line Blanks

[Kenny Durrant]

A friend of mine is a retired police officer from a neighboring city. I say neighboring but you can't tell when you leave one city into another. He still has close friends in the department so he was able to get an old uniform shirt and some extra buttons. I used the actual material from the shirt to wrap around the tube and thinned the buttons so I could bend them to match the contour. I then cast them in Alumilite Clear Slow. Questions and Comments Welcome.

The castings turned out great. That is a great tribute that I know will be cherished forever. Thank you for sharing.

I forgot to mention my buddy is also a pen turner. That's why I'm posting just the blanks. He's going to turn them so they will have a little more meaning personality. Thanks for the kind words.

Blanks came out great Kenny! You know all the guys on his department are going to be digging out their old shirts for you. Lol

Thanks John. We try to take care of " Thise Guys". One of them runs the shooting range where several of the local police practice. He saves all the 308 casings we use to make our bullet pens. It's true what they say about keeping in contact with old friends.
