Recent castings

[ZanderPommo]

Alright the big slab and similar single blank are cast by me, the smaller slab and other single is by Emma. Not a bubble, however microscopic, in either casts. I have some pics of roughly rounded and polished blanks that I will post soon, but here's the slabs!

really proud of this one, I mixed all primary colors (red, yellow, blue) and also white, the idea being if I find that Goldilox zone for mixing it, all the colors should blend without turning brown, to leave a blank with every conceivable color in every conceivable shade. I've tried this 3 times so far and I think this one is the winner!-----slab front and back and single

emma made this one, a bit more subtle yet still gorgeous, and i think very classy. Gold and Winterveld (winterveld is a sort of whiteish orange, which reflects blue)

and this is bronze and pink, dont let it fool you, the turned blank is gorgeous (there's four of these)

Looks like all of your efforts are paying off. Those are some real nice blanks. Turning them round really shows off those colors. Nice work!

 

[MarkD]

[ZanderPommo]

[Jim Burr]

[ZanderPommo]

these are the slabs cut and polished up a bit to show the figure
in order they're posted previously

 

[RSidetrack]

You selling these? :biggrin:

 

[ZanderPommo]

sometimes yes, but mainly no, if your interested in a couple id love to trade?
i need medium CA, accelerator, sierra tubes and kits, and a jr statesman or similar postable kit that takes those tubes. must be threaded end cap and cant be gold or black enamel on the threads, or plastic threads, :biggrin:
shoot me a PM if interested, that goes for everybody. ill only get rid of a couple of each cast though, so be forewarned. emphasis on the sierra kis, and jr ? kit.

The good thing about this is you don't know what they will look like until you turn them. It looks like you are having fun keep it up.

[ZanderPommo]
