Faux-Stone Pen Blanks - Charolite With White Web
Description
Fashioned from a mixture of dyed powdered stone and acrylic resins, these faux-stone pen blanks stunningly mimic the appearance of authentic stone. Showcasing a sophisticated opaque violet-purple shade with hints of copper and delicate white veining, these blanks are perfect for seasoned turners looking to add a dash of elegance to their masterpieces.
Turning Tip: Faux stone is dense, so the tool needs to be sharp. It can be turned with a roughing gouge, skew, or carbide tools (please watch our video showing these tools in use). Because it is stone, it is porous, so you may want to complete it with a thin CA finish (I recommend 2-3 coats of thin and one or two coats of medium.) Once these have cured, sand with 600 grit and polish---you can achieve a high shine--Ed
Pen blanks are approx 3/4" sq x 5" long. The price is per each; the photo shows a representative sampling of the colors and swirling.
