Brian,

You can sometimes (very rarely) be a bit inconsistent in your advice. First you say that there is nothing to casting your own hybrid pen blanks then you say that 'kitchen casters' should be very careful in doing so as the resin is highly toxic. This seems to me to be a very good reason for purchasing the occasional blank from George for that special pen. I understand also that the cost of setting up as a kitchen caster is not inconsiderable. Some of the pens shown above are very distinctive, if not to say dramatic particularly the pine cone pens from Neil. Only ten minutes on the stall eh which leads me to believe that at £55 it may take half an hour
