    "The 4 Metals"

    For the first time appearing together The 4 Metals. These are the 4 different metal sleeved blanks I have been casting using clear poly resin. They are from left to right braided brass, braided stainless steel, braided copper, and finally a weaved chrome. I want to thank all that have followed my presenting these in photos as I made them. And as always any comments or questions are always welcomed.

    Just excellent work. I have enjoyed seeing these as made, and while the copper is my favorite, as well, the chrome is a close second.

    John,

    Where are you getting those kits? The bands are really nice, and I don't recall ever seeing a copper kit in my catalogs (I like the clip style on the chrome one, too).

    Those are some fantastic creations. I have to agree on the copper one, it is gorgeous, and I never use that word unless it is about a female.

    Pen turning has certainly come a long way since the slimline wrap in a nice wood. Great job and all are beautiful.
