    "Toucan Sam", my latest pen.

    Hello again! Here is my latest pen. Can you guess what it is? It's cast in polyurethane resin and has a CA finish.
    Alan Trout came up with the name by the way.

    Nope,not fruit loops. I tried fruit loops once but the sugar in the cereal reacted with the resin. It is not human food.
