@phattpiggie , are those wood or acrylic blanks?
NM, I Googled it:
Light Green colored snake scales for blades
Juma® is a high quality, modern processing material for production of components and art objects. It is a collection of various minerals embedded in resin.

Juma® is a high quality, modern processing material for production of components and art objects. It is a collection of various minerals embedded in resin.
It has:
- Excellent work-ability such as drilling, milling, grinding and polishing
- low breakage due to is high modulus of elasticity and homogeneous structure
- high quality surface due to high surface hardness and low abrasion loss
- resistant to many common substances such as detergents and oils
- low water absorption
- can be thermally shaped in boiling water

@Fat Freddy you missed out 'bloody expensive'.
Can't wait to turn it.
Plenty of stuff going on as ever, only 3 lengths aren't spoken for.
IH's cabled and test run.

Yellow and black swirl acrylics deserve yellow and black accents. Endless combinations to be had.
@Helios that one was turned for shits and giggles so it's available.
The condensers usually get hand sawn with a fine toothed hacksaw but it's a pain to do and not a task I enjoy.
So it was time for an upgrade, abrasive wheel chop saw and a jig make the job more bearable.
Especially when it's this many bits of tube.
Afzelia Xylay with BW 45° MP and black 45° accents.
Big lump of Maple Burr arrived the other day destined to be IH enclosures,

Put together another IH in Buckeye with a Blackwood baseplate. Lipo powered.
First coat of wax is always a pleasure to apply especially with a piece of wood like this.
Very rare standard size stems come out of the shed and it felt a bit alien making something so short.
Bog Yew with brass accent and Casein Ivory 10mm MP built around the smaller OD condenser.
Fly down to Southern Spain tomorrow morning on a family holiday so 9 days of abstention ahead of me, be good to clear my mind and have a proper think on what to do with those 40 condensers.

I love your IH boxes. Are they a single block of wood that you've routed out? Incredible work!
Enjoy your family time!

@Moses Baca thank you.
Yes the majority have been single blocks. Always gutting watching most of it going in the vacuum cleaner.
Warm weather, cold beer and good food for the next 9 days.

Fly back into the UK early hours Friday morning.
Not missed vaping at all. A vape break is easy. Now smoking that's a different thing, I'd have been up at the social club chuffing away like a good un.
The weather and food have been great, the beer's been cold couldn't ask for much more.
Back to it at the weekend and hopefully breaking the back of a big order, 40 stems to go out to our favourite high altitude US retailer.
Still not fully finalised what styles to send out so if anyone wants to make any suggestions then feel free.
Doing 10 in 4 different styles so no one offs.

So is that where the 40 condensers you mentioned above are going as well?
Safe travels.
@Fat Freddy yes they are all headed Stateside.
Thank you. Just hope all the stoners at Boeing kept their shit together when they put our plane together.

40 stems means 80 threads to chase. Vape on, zone out.
Luckily not everything is as tedious.

I wonder if you used a saw bit on your initial "hollowing" cut that you might be able to save a piece large enough to make something else, say a small herb bowl? Or magnet stands maybe?
.
@Fat Freddy I've had a few ideas round saving those big chucks of pretty wood. Perhaps the next time I'll give it a go.
Got to make a bit of time for some shits and giggles stuff while the stem onslaught goes on.
Red alternative snakeskin got turned into a uniform cylinder in readiness for who knows what just yet.
It had to be done, as a kid I loved this band.
The endless amount of design ideas just expanded exponentially.
This blank is basically a pen kit brass tube with a picture glued to it then cast in a resin, almost certain the snakeskin is made the same way.
A 45° cut in a stem means any accents need to be drilled at the same angle.
A laser cutter would be nice as each hole is now elliptical and drilling multiple accents taped together isn't the best for accuracy.
Every step, no matter how small, is always a good thing.
Zebrano which will end up twisted, Yew/Amber, Bog Oak/Juma Green Mamba and Bocote and Lime
Along with the stems and Maple IH enclosures there have been a couple of things being worked on.
Cannot wait until everything is pulled together and some pictures taken, great fun with great people.

Damn.... that red snakeskin is fabulous @phattpiggie . Sigh.. every darn time I think I can take a breather on a new stem you come up with something new I love. My list keeps growing and growing....
Over to you @Squiby ....

@momofthegoons as it turns out the red 'snakeskin' is embossed leather but the real thing is available.
Another step closer.

OMG! OMG!! OMG!!! I've got a list going too. I love the snake skin! But I'm also totally in love with the casein. And one day I know that I'll need, absolutely need these stems as well as a coffee bean one if I can convince PP to make one for me.
Coffee bean pen blanks
Real coffee beans cast in cream acrylic. Blanks measure approx. 3/4" square by 5" long. Truly unique - a great gift idea for any coffee lover!
