Chuck,
No those were organic yellow split peas. They make a pretty cool pen. I will make some other stuff this time. I will make a couple of batches.

I made a pen from that yellow split pea blank Alan...it turned very well and took a thin CA finish even better. As with all our dealings...a great blank to work with!!!

Alan,
Here's a thread on how to post picture and to put a picture in your profile go to user CP and edit user picture.
Also while yuor there if you want to you can edit your profile to tell us where abouts your from."There’s a lot of work being done today that doesn’t have any soul in it. The technique may be the utmost perfection, yet it is lifeless. It doesn’t have a soul. I hope my furniture has a soul to it." - Sam Maloof

Chuck, that does look very nice. What I find on my blanks cast from food stuffs is that the CA will shrink more. I do the CA and then do a rough sanding about 600 and let them sit for about a week. Then finish wet sand with mineral spirits to 2000 and then polish with Novus Plastic Polish #2. That generally gives you a very level finish and high gloss. Something else is I always seal the ends with thin CA.
