Jesmonite pens

[Eloquin]

Has anyone else tried Jesmonite?

I have had a few interesting colours and patterns from it with this being the latest.

Not seen it or used it for pens, but cast a few coasters with it...what did it turn like? Was it a bit friable?...
Nice colours in those BTW!

Surprisingly it actually turns quite nicely. I am sure it blunts tools faster than wood or resin and you get mainly dust rather than ribbons. You do need to take it fairly slow as if you get a catch that instantly becomes a rapid unscheduled disassembly! Make sure you wear enough protection as well as you can guarantee some ends up in your face.
The only other thing I had to do was light dry sanding then seal the whole thing with CA glue and finish with wet sanding. If water gets past the CA, it starts to dissolve the Jesmonite.

Here are a few others I did with a more marble feel.
