Maroon and White Honeycomb Pen Blanks – Gig 'Em Gorgeous!
These blanks don’t just whisper quality—they holler it loud enough to be heard in College Station! Crafted with high-pressure cast Alumilite resin and luxurious Eye Candy pastes, our Maroon and White Honeycomb Pen Blanks bring Texas A&M pride to the lathe in striking fashion. With deep maroon and crisp white tones echoing the spirit of the Aggies, these blanks are the ultimate nod to your favorite team—or your favorite bold color combo.
Each blank is one-of-a-kind, and we’ve got sizes to suit just about any project your turning tools dream of.
Heads up, turners! These beauties are best suited for experienced hands. Honeycomb scales can be a bit spicy—expect to turn with a light touch, very high speed, and sharp tools. A CA finish is your best friend here. Pro tip: keep those shavings from the start of your turn—you’ll thank yourself later if you need to patch a scale.
Tips for turning success:
Use thin CA glue before and during turning to minimize chip out.
Keep your tool touch feather-light (think “whispering sweet nothings”).
If a scale pops out (hey, it happens), just patch it in with thick CA and a dab of activator.
Seal the deal with 8 coats of Medium Flex CA for a durable, high-gloss finish worthy of envy.
Why Alumilite? Because it turns like a dream, polishes to a gleam, and laughs in the face of brittle drama. You’ll get that high-gloss, no-void, bubble-free finish with a simple sand and polish.
