    Default Bowling Ball Bits & Pieces

    I recently turned a lot of pens using solid bowling ball materials and had leftover bits. I went and made some of them smaller and cast them in Simlar with a copper pearl x and this is the result. I did find out after finishing I need to put a CA finish on them or you can feel the pieces but the ca smooths it all out.
    The Elektra was made from a poured block but the Diplomat was made by puuting pieces in a tube and slowly pouring the mixture into it and then putting it on my bandsaw to vibrate out the bubbles and it seemed to work that way.
    Remember the Blood that all men bleed has no race, sex or creed in the land of the truly free.
