looking for a pen kit with alot of room for casting

[The Cabinermaker]

Hi everyone, as the title says I'm after a pen kit which has lots of room between the tube and the outside of the pen for casting things in the gap like carbon fibre, feathers etc, the biggest one I've used is the Longwood pen kit but you only put a bit of tube in half the blank which wouldn't work with what I'm wanting to do, thank you for any suggestions

There are a lot of "pre cast" blanks out there with carbon fiber, metal weaves, steampunk and feathers, the most common circuit boards, most of these are aimed at the Sierra or Sierra vista. As you go up in pen size most also go up in tube size which is not what you want if casting larger items. You could also look at modifying the center band or coupler of a kit to make a bigger pen with smaller tubes...interested to see what your casting thou

the polaris (psi name) aka carbara (berea name) has a big wall thickness

Thank you for helping, I will try the Sierra kit and see how I get on since I like the look of that type of pen, hopefully I'll post some pics of some hand casted pens soon!
