    Default Pine Cone Emperor

    This pen made in the early days of casting, before it became the rage and the production of so many wonderful blanks that are seen today.
    Was first cast and not perfect and didn't know about colouring the tubes at the time.
    I "found" the pen when Chris came to pick up his pen boxes, showed him the lead Crystal box and inside I had put this pen and forgot about it, I would say it was a good 6 or 7 years ago.

    Pine cones are amazing things. They look very rustic in the raw, but when turned are incredible.
    This one, even though you say it was made in the early days still looks fantastic and the green resin ties in beautifully. There doesn't look to be any deterioration in the surface over time, so a good testament to CA finishes.
