That stuff is nice, but the dark green shades really don't show until you get thin.

If you can bore out your cap and/or barrel a little more, the variation in the material will pop a little more.

I've made 5-6 pens with this, and afterwards, I will try to thin the walls within reason. It really makes the variation pop better.

It also has a pretty low melting point, as you probably figured out.

Great job, Chris.

Wow, I've spotted a few of your creations as of late, this one with the subtle colours I really dig! Have you tried anything other than a c/c pen?
