Not as difficult as the Mystical stone blank the mica seems to be a bit hard ,and this particular blank had a lot of air holes to deal with, hence the CA fill It drilled ok with normal HSS drills ,so I am guessing normal tools (skew) would work ok ,like all these combo blanks just need care and a little patience and that's all I have "a little patience" hehe, cheers ~ John

John,
Another job well done, pen looks great. I done a jnr Victor in the Mica and found it very easy to turn I also had a couple of small air bubbles but they dissapear all together with the CA finish.
Well worth the effort for something a little different
Cheers
Tony.

Great looking pen John. I like the look of the gold in the blank. Pity I can't get a timber blank with gold laced through it or maybe I can

Those pens of yours look brilliant John, so I jumped in the car and headed down to see Tony at Perfect Pens. I got a couple of them and a Churchill fountain pen and pen to put them on. I will give them a go this week sometime and see how it goes.

You should have no trouble Greg , those blanks should look great on a churchill, But not sure if they will be big enough for the churchill tubes ? . I sold the stone one at the markets yesterday , I only showed it to a few people as I was thinking about keeping it for myself But I had an offer around what I thought it was worth ,plus he bought a couple of other pens off me so at the same time , so it will now live in Melbourne hehe. Cheers~ John

Damn, I hadn't thought about that Might recast them in a bit more clear resin until I drill the holes. That might hold them together and fill in the bubble holes.

I cast the mica blanks in clear resin today. It will give me a lot more support to drill a churchill through it. Oh well, we will see. Off to John's tomorrow and we will find out.
