Red & White acrylic pen blanks

**Soren** · 19th August 2010, 09:44 PM

Is there anyone out there willing to advise where I might be able to pick up a couple of 20 * 20 * 130mm brillian red and white swirling acrylic pen blanks.

I have been asked to make a Sierra (click top) pen and pencil set, for a gentleman barracking for the Swans.

As I have never tried to cast my own blanks, have no idea or equipment, and I usually only use timber blanks, on the odd occasion when I get to make any pens, I would obviously need to buy them from somewhere.

If there is anyone out there able to assist, I would appreciate it.

TIA

regards

Soren

Those Coconut Ice look promising, if CarbaTec do not have anything of interest

many thanks for your replies

Well the suggestion from teh CarbaTec guy was "Kill the Swan supporter as we do not have any red and white blanks" -- I must add, that the guy at CarbaTec is a personal friend of many years, so no offense taken

Looks like I either have to continue to trawl the net, or try and investigate "casting"

Hi Soren,
What about CWS. Jim & Irene.

As much as I agree with your mate, ie the "lets do in Swans supporters"
In the long run it would only decrease our potential buying base

Anyway a look at Carbi gives the following two blanks
If your local don't have any ship from elsewhere. Actually I think I had to get my blank from QLD for my Mates pen for his 50th

Hi Soren,

If you're willing to order from overseas, the Red and White Spiney Trustone is perfect for what you want to do. I've got one sitting at home, and thought of it as soon as i saw this thread.

EDIT: see here for an example. Briiliant red and white.
