Finally !! Time to give it a Crack !!
Hi All,
I originally seen similar photos of pen blanks posted sometime ago in here by Simomatra I think it was. I knew then that I wanted to give these a crack !! pardon the pun. So here we go our first crack and pleased with the outcome. Lots more experimenting to come yet though
Thanks
Tony.

Those look great.
I have been wanting to try but got confused by all the numerous craft crackle bottles of stuff.
What route did you take?

MIK I just this minute got in from the workshop and I am pleasantly surprised 
made a couple of little boo boo's when turning but it was my fault
I need better lighting above my lathe.
Cheers
