Those look great, I love pine cone pens. I would personally like to see you make pen blanks out of a variety of materials in resin you find. Like little sticks, banksia pods, maybe even try antler. You make great videos and thank you for the informative entertainment.
I really like the look. I have hundreds of pine cones on my property consisting of blue spruce, cedar, arizona and deodar cedar trees. I thought about incorporating some pine needles with the cones. Thanks for the great video!
Was looking to make some knife scales with resin that has various pieces of objects from a persons past . For example , dog tags, leather from coat , bullet casing etc. Would be cool to see you casting multiple objects for knife scales and see how they turn out
I’ve seen that done many times! If I had a custom order I would do it, but since I don’t really make real knives myself, I’d probably only make the scales
They look great I just bought two out of three of them from your Etsy page just want to let you know I really like your videos and you make some awesome blanks
+Cody's custom Pens Thanks a ton Cody I really appreciate it!! I’m glad you like the videos and I’m looking forward to hearing how the blanks turn out for you!
On these specific ones I did not. They were super hard and very dense, and so I figured they wouldn’t need it if I just dried them out completely. It worked well. I had no problem turning them either.
Casey Martin Thanks man. I’m inspired by your videos and I have been stabilizing and casting over here in canada for about a year. Don’t sell them just have a passion for the art. Your videos are so down to earth and straight forward. I will continue to be a fan and a follower. And I must try the pine cones in resin. Amazing brother. :)
Hey I've been trying to make alumilite pine cone blanks, and I've been running into issues with voids forming. Do you have any recommendations for eliminating these? Nice video BTW, they turned out good.
Any one know who i can send a brass tube to , to have a photo put on and or casted in alumilite or blak diamonds so i can turn it for a gift ?? i have posted before and surprised no response !!
I love this! And I’m proud of you for wearing PPE because so many other people I’ve watched didn’t wear gloves, mask, or anything. Not that I could afford one, but your pens must sell out quickly! Have you tried or could you make one out of birch? 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Man those are wicked..do you sell pens like this already made? I don't have a lathe or know how to spin them lol but reallllllyyyyyy want a pen like this cheers.
+Bradley C They actually weren’t! I was contemplating it, but I only had enough for one batch of blanks so I didn’t think it was worth it. These were also super dense pine cones so I don’t think it’ll be too much of an issue
Steve Jackson Hey Steve! Welcome to the hobby and the channel! I didn’t stabilize the pine cones because I didn’t think it was worth it. They were pretty dense and hard so I thought they’d be ok, which they were!
+Peter Goumans It would be better to than not to, however I didn’t with these. Main reason being that they were small and super dense, and I thought they’d hold up ok. If I come across a large amount of these again then I definitely will.
It looks so amazing. So pretty. Did you use stabilized pine cones?
Hi there casey ,I agree totally ,those are some of the best looking blanks I've seen for a long time. Best regards from Blighty .sd
Very eye catching...... Looking forward for video showing pen coming out of one.
Thank you! Do you need to put on a respirator mask when working with this Alumilite?
If you don’t mind me asking, what size casting block is that? I find it fascinating that you can get 4 blanks out of a block that size.
I am not a turner but was wondering if you have thought about using peach pits and resin to make blanks
Gee that's amazing i use resin by the bucket loads and have made some beautiful paper weights that light up with blue and white leds

Beautiful, You have inspired me to expand my horizons and branch out in the world of pen blanks.
hi, amazing work men!! did you stabilitzed the cone pine before put in alumilite?????
thanks.
Beautiful blanks. Do you stabilize them first?
Love them! Can't wait to see you turn!
Love them! Were the pine cones stabilized before casting?
This is the most important question. They are beautiful, but if they aren't stabilized, won't they fall apart in a lathe?
The one on the far left turned out amazing. I wish I could tell how you oriented it in the mold to repeat that pattern.
It reminds me of an eagle in flight.
This is absolutely beautiful! I can only imagine how beautiful it will be as a pen.
Very cool! I've never seen anything like these blanks before!
Excellent colors. Good job.
did you stabilize the cones?
Those are amazing the one on the far left was the one I liked the most

I love pine cone blanks they’re so pretty
Absolutely beautiful. Do you prep the pinecones first?
They look great can't wait to see you turn one
Very cool. Did you stabilize the pinecones first?
What’s a blank? And a pot ? Have a uncovered an whole new resin universe? They so pretty
Do you have to use a pressure pot to make these
Wow. Great idea and results.
Totally impressed. Did you use pine cones without any stabilizing?
Awesome as usual, Casey! Nicely done!
+Sig Guy Thanks a ton!!
The one on the left is outstanding
Casey, I know this is an older video but I’m catching up. My question is did you stabilize the pine cones before casting?

Hi .. what measures do they have?
Was the pine cones stabilized before casting with the resin?
+Bradley C They actually weren’t! I was contemplating it, but I only had enough for one batch of blanks so I didn’t think it was worth it. These were also super dense pine cones so I don’t think it’ll be too much of an issue
These are beautiful!
Did you stabilize the pine cones?
What material is your mold made from
Really nice Casey. Let me know if you make another batch
They are serious gorgeous
Я посмотрел многие ролики , ну что я могу сказать Молодец 1000000000 ....... балов .Тебе пожму руку мастеру !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you dry the pine cones before casting?
+Keith Schultz Yes they were dried for about a year actually because I forgot I had them!
I don't need sand tea. I'm in plastic, right?
Before putting together with glue, the wood is stable yet
Fairly new penturner here. Just acquiring equipment, supplies and knowledge to begin casting. Have stabilized I batch of wood. From
fingers hit send by mistake. I was going to ask if you stabilized the pine cones. If not, why not?
Steve Jackson Hey Steve! Welcome to the hobby and the channel! I didn’t stabilize the pine cones because I didn’t think it was worth it. They were pretty dense and hard so I thought they’d be ok, which they were!
Do you have to stabilize those combs
+Peter Goumans It would be better to than not to, however I didn’t with these. Main reason being that they were small and super dense, and I thought they’d hold up ok. If I come across a large amount of these again then I definitely will.
Hi, what do you do to get the blanks looking so polished?
I use a ultra fine tooth diablo saw blade and dust collection!
I use a 60 tooth blade I am assuming the one you are using has more teeth?
i wanna know what the material of the form is?
HDPE plastic! I have a link on the tools I use page in the video description
BEAUTIFUL! Nice!
what do you sale the Pen's for?
can you make with customised size?
Yes I can! Send me an email at casey@winecountrypens.com and we can get started
