Casting & stabilizing

Making your own stabilized pen blanks or casting your own acrylic blanks

Stabilization: refers to impregnating soft wood with a resin like Cactus Juice, creating a blank that is no longer weak.  It is especially effective on those beautiful, punky spalted woods that are just too soft to work with! 

Casting: creating your own pen blanks using casting resin, dyes and powder pigments.
