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
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!
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!
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.
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!
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.
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. :)
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 !!
+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
+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.
Very eye catching...... Looking forward for video showing pen coming out of one.
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
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

+Eli Hayes Thanks Eli! I will absolutely do that! I think it’s a ton of fun to do.

Excellent colors. Good job.
This is absolutely beautiful! I can only imagine how beautiful it will be as a pen.
Love them! Can't wait to see you turn!
Very cool! I've never seen anything like these blanks before!
Those are amazing the one on the far left was the one I liked the most
Thank you! Do you need to put on a respirator mask when working with this Alumilite?
What’s a blank? And a pot ? Have a uncovered an whole new resin universe? They so pretty
I am not a turner but was wondering if you have thought about using peach pits and resin to make blanks
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.
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!

Those are beautiful. Nice job!
Really cool looking blanks, these are on my list of to try.
Wow. Great idea and results.
Awesome as usual, Casey! Nicely done!
+Sig Guy Thanks a ton!!
hi, amazing work men!! did you stabilitzed the cone pine before put in alumilite?????
thanks.
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.
Really nice Casey. Let me know if you make another batch
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?
Beautiful blanks. Do you stabilize them first?
Oh my goodness, coolest pen blanks ever.
These are beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful. Do you prep the pinecones first?
The one on the left is outstanding
Man they look amazing
Totally impressed. Did you use pine cones without any stabilizing?
Great video, what is the material the mold box is made of?
HDPE Plastic
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? 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Those look Great! I'm going to be trying this soon any tips?
They are serious gorgeous
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.
Very cool. Did you stabilize the pinecones first?
Я посмотрел многие ролики , ну что я могу сказать Молодец 1000000000 ....... балов .Тебе пожму руку мастеру !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Before putting together with glue, the wood is stable yet
did you stabilize the cones?
Do you have to use a pressure pot to make these
They look awesome
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!
Looks divine

BEAUTIFUL! Nice!
I don't need sand tea. I'm in plastic, right?
Casey, I know this is an older video but I’m catching up. My question is did you stabilize the pine cones before casting?
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.

Did you stabilize the pine cones?
Have you tried Star Anise? It's a cool design - and I wonder what might happen with the aroma. :-)
What is Star Anise?
Casey Martin it is a spice. g.co/kgs/Y3mEGv
Did you stabilize them before you casted them?
I love them great job.
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 !!

Hi .. what measures do they have?
What material is your mold made from
Could I make knifes handle with this material? Please answer as soon as possible...
Yes absolutely! Shoot me an email at casey@winecountrypens.com and we can it going!
@@CaseyMartin707 thanks for your answer
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
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?
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.
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!
what do you sale the Pen's for?
can you make with customised size?
