Tiger Lilly Poly Resin Pen Blanks

Bring vibrant color and striking symmetry to your next turning project with our Tiger Lilly Poly Resin Pen Blanks. Featuring bold orange, black, and cream stripes, this professionally cast polyester resin blank creates an eye-catching custom pen with a unique look from every angle. The distinctive striped casting forms a beautiful pinwheel pattern on the ends, while the stripes remain evenly spaced as they become finer during turning, producing an elegant, consistent design from start to finish.

Each blank is pre-rounded to save preparation time and turns beautifully with sharp tools and light cuts. After sanding and polishing, Tiger Lilly develops an exceptional glass-like, high-gloss finish that enhances the vibrant colors and crisp striping.

Turning Tips

Poly Resin machines beautifully but is slightly more brittle than acrylic acetate or Alumilite, so proper technique will produce the best results.

• Use sharp carbide or high-speed steel tools
• Take light, controlled cuts
• Proper cutting produces continuous ribbons, not chips
• If minor pitting develops, stop before final dimension and sand it away
• Fill deeper pits with thick CA glue, then turn flush before final sanding

For the highest polish:

• Sand progressively through 600 grit
• Continue through the Micro-Mesh polishing system or a quality plastic polishing kit
• Many turners prefer wet sanding synthetic materials
• Finish with a plastic polish for a stunning mirror-like shine
• No friction finish is required

Why You'll Love It

As the blank is turned, the stripes become finer while maintaining their uniform spacing, creating a sophisticated, high-end appearance that looks fantastic on virtually any pen style. If you're looking to build a pen that immediately catches the eye, Tiger Lilly is an outstanding choice.
