Got some time to test one of the newest cast pen blanks.

I'm still waiting on my pen kits to show up. Hopefully this coming week...

In the mean time I drilled a couple blanks and got them rounded out. I quickly tested them to see how they would cut and they seem to be performing quite good now that I've dialed in the catalyst a bit better. Sanded them down in the end to 2000 grit and did a little wet sanding as well.

Not bad. I haven't been able to find my bottle of car polish yet, so next trip to the store I'll get some so that I can get that gloss going. So far I'm quite pleased with the results.

Now my pen kits just need to show so I get to final shaping and cutting to length.
