My first worthless wood blank

[Andybear]

I cast this the other day. I still have to make a pen from it but thought I would post this as it is the first time I have done this

Nice Blanks, Andybear.
Should look brilliant on a Pen.
Congratulations,
Brian.

Looks great to me, is it PR or Alumilite? Looking forward to seeing it turned!

 

[Andybear]

It is clear cast PR. Hope to turn it soon

Looks good, looking forward to seeing the finished pen.

Am I to assume...this didn't go well?

 

[Andybear]

Not at all a friend saw them and so off they went to him to turn. Have yet to see what they look like turned. Will post pics as soon as I get them

I think it's a great looking blank. Congratulations! Anyone who understands the process can tell you there's a lot involved in getting wood to look like that. Artistry isn't just in the turner's ability but can also be in the material itself. It's just as easy to ruin a good piece of wood as it is to bring the beauty out of it.
