I think I have a couple like that you sent me a while ago
They are very difficult to turn and needs CA as you go if you see any gaps between the resin and the shells.

Like the shape Peter but not keen on the blank.

Quite so as you said with the blanks shape is different slender top. Useful pens.

I have another set on the lathe, but I am not sure I am going to bother finishing them and I won't be smashing them up to recast, it was worth a try using pistachio shells, but they are a real pita. Thanks for the comments.

Nice work on them.
When I saw the Pistashio heading, I thought
it would be the nut colored blank. But it's the shells

Yes, the shells, I hate waste and am always looking at things with regards to making blanks from them, the nuts were great as always, but the shells are just too hard and smooth so there is the risk that they will come loose from the resin and as they are harder than the resin they tend to stick out from the resin after sanding, you can't see they are slightly raised, but you can feel where the shells are.
