Gents, especially Kurt, Just got back from Woodworkers, went for drill bits of the German variety and of course had to have a look around. Stumbled on some sanding sheets called Mirlon, look like they wood be great for stemwork. Came home and did the Google thing, damn they're made by Abranet. Any o...

Thats exactly what I use it for rings,collars, and furrules. Not stems.

It's a polycarbonate ! I Guess that's ABS, but not sure. It's very light-weight, shaves ,drills, and snds nicley....and for the price it really warrants some looking at, give it a shot. It takes awhile to get it, he makes it in small batches to order. He also makes the stuff for gun and knive scales...

Gentlemen, I know it's been quite a since I posted but I check in quite often just lurking. The previous post on mamoth ivory led to the discovery in the ebay pen blank section of a material advertised as faux ivory. Given the price difference between the two, and the affordabillity of the faux, I f...

Ah...I see Jack. I tryed though I screewed up, so the smoosh can be sanded crisp. I thought I screwd up and threw it away, and tryed a lighter hand the next time and thats what I got . So as the Buddha said the middle way. Thanks Anyone else have experience in this ?

Yes Craig,
I have as well. I'm not talking about stamping the pipe, I'm mean a marking onto the stem, filling with paint and sanding smooth.
As far as the pipe, keep at it I still get nauseous when it's time to stamp!

Gentlemen, I know somewhere on this forum lies a thread about stamping stems with your logo, damn if I can find it. As you know my logo is a 1/4" Moravian "star of Bethlehem", I've experimented a bit but with some mixed results. Anyone venture here, and could you shed some light on th...
