So we have this neat new material in five foot long rods, two inches diameter.

The manufacturer calls it mamba, "We are NOT impressed!!"

So, if you come up with the name we select (VERY subjective), You will WIN this piece and $25 gift certificate to
www.exoticblanks.com

NO CHARGE to enter --- who KNOWS what I will like for a name???

We will leave it open at least until Wednesday. There may be "consolation prizes" introduced if answers are really good!!!

So, WHAT WOULD YOU CALL THIS?????



You can see the rest of the family of "Fat Cats" by following this link....

The problem with this (unless I'm mistaken) is that the picture shows an end view of the material. It should look very different after it's been turned into a pen. Trying to visualize it after it's been turned I'm thinking it's going to look like more of a "Tiger Stripe". So that's my suggestion.

Hey, are we allowed more than one try?

If so then does anybody remember those lava lamps from the '70's? How about "Lava Lamp"

Yeah, I know. Those are lame submissions. I need more coffee.

I am thinking these are for pendants so they would be in the face and not the side.
 
"Emerging Monarch" I say this because it resembles a monarch butterfly just shedding it's Pupa. Just an idea. I have to admit, I like "Splash of Jupiter". Very creative.
 
Linda says "Nautilus"

Mike says "Hypnosis"

Notice the top of the Nautilus. It is speckled then stripes on the sides.

Actually, afaik I was the first to specifically request pendant slices of this.

Although it's too thick to get pens out of w/o alot of waste, I think there is Many other things that would look really cool in this material.... Bottle stoppers , yoyos and much more!
 
At this point I should probably menton that my wife is out of town this weekend. I'm a little boared. Of course I could turn the computer off and go back to doing housework.

Ok, how about "Life in a petri dish"?
 
I am visualizing that as the base part for a desk pen with a contrasting material for the shank - say a statesman or jr statesman. A long cove from the center down to about a 1/3 rd point from the bottom then catch those swirls -

An explosion of light -- like a "Meteor Shower" at twilight

Since I never win -- will have to invest in some of that --- already have the hardware waiting --
 
Leopard in italian is Pantera, plus they were a decent hair metal band. Although I'm think Polka is more Ed's style.

Machiatto means mottled in Italian. I kind of like that.
