One of my favourite types of acrylic blanks which came from William Wood-Write are cast in several steps. First; ribbons are made and placed in a form in a haphazard way and then multiple colours of acrylic are then poured over the ribbons to give this very unique pen blank. This particular blank is called “Creamsicle” for obvious reasons (White ribbons and VERY Orange resin). Makes a unique pen. This was done in a European Round Top in a Satin Gold finish.. I made this to order for my niece Tina. I hope she likes it.
There is a difficult aspect to these blanks that I have noticed. The different colours in the blanks have slightly different densities and so care must be taken to get an even line in the turning. It is very easy to turn ridges because some of the parts of the blank are softer than others. If you take your time though, they turn out beautifully. I also took time and used calipers to turn the blank to precise diameters, which was well worth the extra time as the kit fit together really well. After turning I used a EEE cream to “cut” the tool marks out of the blank and then finished with wet Micro-Mesh pads.
