I like the Alien look.
I like this one, yeah, yeah Dorno I stole your idea (well sorta). I got half a dozen Banksia Grandiflora nuts from Dave aka "dusteater" a while back (plus bonus goodies) and finally got to cut one up and bury it in some red PR. Still a bugger to turn, lots of CA. But hey I really like the result. Hope you do too.
cheers

Almost all the combined blanks of PR and other materials ,including shredded money and coffee beans, need lots of care and usually a lot of stabilising with thin CA as you go, but most times the finished products are well worth the effort You usually have to sneak up on them and forget aggressive methods of turning ,even sandpapering the last millimetre or so is perfectly ok Some folks can do wonders with a finely honed skew and a steady hand, I am not one of them lol. Looks like a fine result for you on that one Cheers ~ John
G'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!

Nice looking pen. Great result. BTW - do people really shred money to put into blanks? Apart from being a Federal offence, it seems a waste when you could put it towards a beer.

The pens are pretty, but banksia nuts really creep me out.
I don't think I could even pick one up.___
