Bengal Stripe Poly Resin Pen Blanks

Bring bold, untamed style to your next turning project with our Bengal Stripe Poly Resin Pen Blank. Inspired by the striking markings of a Bengal tiger, this professionally cast polyester resin blank features vivid orange stripes separated by bold black bands, creating a dramatic pattern that remains consistent throughout the turning process. The unique striped casting produces a distinctive pinwheel effect when viewed from the ends, while the evenly spaced stripes become finer as the blank is turned without losing their visual impact.

Pre-rounded for faster preparation, Bengal Stripe machines beautifully with sharp tools and rewards careful turning with a stunning glass-like, high-gloss finish.

Turning Tips

Poly Resin turns beautifully but is slightly more brittle than acrylic acetate or Alumilite, making proper technique important for the best results.

• Use sharp carbide or high-speed steel tools
• Take light, controlled cuts rather than aggressive passes
• Proper cutting produces continuous ribbons instead of chips
• If minor pitting appears, stop slightly oversized and remove it during sanding
• Deep pits can be filled with thick CA glue, then turned flush

For a professional finish:

• Sand progressively through 600 grit
• Continue with Micro-Mesh or a quality plastic polishing system
• Wet sanding often produces superior results
• Finish with a plastic polish for an exceptional mirror-like shine
• No friction finish is required

Why You'll Love It

The Bengal Stripe Poly Resin Pen Blank combines dramatic color with a unique casting technique that creates visual depth unlike ordinary striped materials. As the blank is turned, the stripes wrap gracefully around the finished pen while maintaining their uniform spacing, resulting in a striking custom writing instrument that pairs beautifully with chrome, gun metal, black titanium, satin chrome, or stainless steel hardware. It's an outstanding choice for pen makers looking to create a bold, unforgettable piece.
