My First Ceboplast Pen

[KMCloonan]

I bought some vintage blanks from Dave Bledsoe (dbledsoe). There were some Ceboplast blanks in the mix.
This one is called "Celebration" and turned out really well. I chose an Executive kit because the tubes are nice & long to show off the blank,

The Ceboplast is very sensitive to heat - I had to drill very carefully, as well as squaring the blank on the sanding jig. I like how it polished up.

I will likely save the remaining blanks I bought until I get more into Kitless pens.



Thanks for looking.

That turned out really nice.

Very well done. Those old time materials are hard to beat. That stuff is like gold.

Very nice, Kevin.
I turned one a while back...you're right ....doesnt like heat.

Nicely done Kevin! I have a few slabs of the stuff I use once in a while. It melts when you cut it also. Very sensitive but looks great when done.

That's a beauty.

I have been saving some of this stock I bought from Richard Greenwald prior to his going out of business, as I have been afraid of wrecking it when turning - but seeing your beautiful pen, I think I need to rethink saving it. Nice match with the kit too!
