Pen Blank - Mica Pearl - Fine Feathers

Product Description

This design is a feast to the eye! It provides a remarkable new and original look to your project.
Approximate measurements 3/4" x 3/4" x 5"
Colour and pattern may vary slightly from the pictured blank, due to the manufacturing process.

Please note, mica pearl can be a brittle material to work with. On close inspection, chipped edges are visible on the blank which shows the potential brittle nature of the material.

It is recommended:

• Cut a mica pearl blank ¼” longer rather than the 1/8” you would normally practice, as this will help keep the blank useable.
• If the drill bit breaks through the bottom, it may chip, therefore it is advised that you drill slowly to avoid this from happening.
• Cut it back, or use your barrel trimmer to remove the excess.
• When turning, it is recommended to use a scraper rather than a gouge to prevent the gouge edge digging into the material and chipping or breaking the blank.

This will take longer than normal, but on the plus side, once finished and polished, the results are stunning!
