First Pen I've turned for over 3 months!

[Bucks]

Last night I got round to turning my first pen in over 3 months! It's just a slimline pen turned from one of my own cast coffee bean blanks which was left over from my last coffee bean casting experiment.

Don't think it's as nice as these ones though!

Well turned, i like that blank and the colour in between the beans.

I love the contrast of the white resin with the coffee beans.

I don't think much of it looking at the photo! but in real life it looks quite a bit better, as the resin is slightly translucent so you can see some of depth in the beans.

Nice shape to the slimline Paul, but i also agree that the beans look good with the White mixture ..

We've been preparing a load of coffee beans today ready for stabilising tomorrow, there's enough for about 40 blanks for our website, but I think I'm going to stick with just the white! We've experimented with a few different colours but they are never quite a nice as the white

I like all of them

I am with Ian I like all of them and think they will go down so well with the public. No coffee in our house we use Caro , Echo, Milo.

Great looking pens Paul.
I like the white as well.

 

[Freck Fraser]

I'm in the white camp as well, these look great

The 2nd lot looks so much better

Nice blanks that make great pens. I particularly like the ones with the 'milk' background, which makes the beans stand out better, IMHO. As somebody who doesn't drink coffee, it's nice to see that there is a good use to which the beans can be put.

Nice form to the slimline Paul shame the colour doesn't quite work (in the photo anyway)

Thanks for all the input guys, I think we'll just stick withjust the white on any future castings

The best ones I have seen used cream and not just white. Have a look at the Axminster coffee blanks
