Atrax with mini pine cones
Hello folks
here is a pen I’ve completed recently
It’s one of my own blanks which I’ve cast with mini pine cones and an iridescent multi coloured resin with a chrome Berea Atrax fountain pen kit
Photographed with another blank from the same pour.
finished with CA/BLO

Gripping Attraxion approaching pine cone perfection for mine George.
Well seen, poured, turned and presented if you had not stated Pine Cone it would impress just the same providing an abstract pattern to be proud of.
Kind regards Peter.

Hay now that is a good job.

I like those little mini cones are they off the Shee Oaks - how do you clean them so there's no critters inside causing problems when you pour resine
