Using up the 'scrap'

[Gordon]

I had a clear out in the shed the other day and was surprised how many off-cuts of resin blanks I had, seemed such a waste, then an idea hit!

I sorted out the blanks, some of the bigger ones I halved, then I stuck them spaced out onto some masking tape then taped the opposite side before placing them in moulds and filling the gaps with black resin. I have to confess, I'm more than happy with the results.

Very nice pens Gordon. I also like to use the crop ends for pens.

Thanks for the comments, I am happy how they turned out. 2 sold already to a work colleague who loved them as soon as he seen them. Third one I put up for sale online tonight. Think I'll spend the weekend looking around my shed for anymore offcuts I may have missed... waste not, want not

What a great way of using all your offcuts, they look really great.
