Cast NIP Fron
I've often walked past the Norfolk Island Pines around the East Coast and wondered what one of the frons would look like as a pen. So I picked up some big ones and cast them in my vertical 19mm moulds. They were only 12mm, so lent to one side of the moulds, but gave an interesting effect in the final pen.

Excellent Neil!!!
I'm liking those streamline kits more and more. They really show of the blanks very well.

Ahh OK, gotcha now. Thanks.
Seems you're a casting guru now and can cast anything Just don't lower yourself to the casting level of some of the IAP guys
