#27. Highly figured pen blanks (resin stabilized)
Рет қаралды 5,188
Жыл бұрынThe wood used is spalted maple burl.
Unfortunately Cactus Juice is unavailable in my country that why I had to use a similar but more expensive resin. Had to say though, the result is really nice. As show in the video, the acrylic lid reacts to the resin, creating some micro cracks. Based on my research it may explode (but it didn't to me). However, it's safer using a polycarbonate lid (preferably 20mm).
Enjoy the video.

What type of resin do you use, please? Is it just the usual resin and why doesn't it set when left in the pressurised container?

Hi, this is stabilizing resin, it is used to stabilize wood (either punky wood or just wood in general). Once stabilized, the wood does rot anymore as all the pores are filled with resin. It kinda becomes like « plastic ». That’s why it is used for knife scales so the knife handle does not get altered by water. The reason why it does not set is because it is not supposed to… The only way to set stabilizing resin is to heat it (thermosetting resin). I think you might have mistook it with epoxy. Epoxy will indeed set some hours after casting. Cheers

What is the right size for pen blanks?

If you want to have engoua material to drill at ease, it should be minimum 2cm wide. As for the length, it really depends on the pen mechanisms you buy. I have mechanisms that need 10cm long qnd others 11,5cm long. So really depends on
