Coffee and Cream Inlace Acrylester Pen Blank

"Coffee and Cream" blanks are made with real roasted coffee beans! Turning these blanks (carefully-the beans are brittle!) will fill your shop with the aroma of freshly ground coffee. Inlace Acrylester semi-translucent pen blanks have a pearlescent quality that will give your finished pens great depth when viewed in the light. Acrylester turns much like acrylic. Blanks are 3/4" square x 5" long. For experienced turners using sharp tools. Also available from Rockler, the Cappuccino turning blank.

1) Submitted by Jerry, from Corpus Christi, TX on 8/17/2011 Customer Rating: Soft beans and hard acrylic makes for challenging turning. The key is to use very sharp tools and light cuts. Finished with Medium CA and wet sanding with Micro Mesh pads 30710. (click to see full-size picture in new window)

2) Submitted by Victor, from Rolling Meadows, IL on 7/18/2010 Customer Rating: I thought this would be a waste of money but it came out great and I made a profit.

3) Submitted by Dan, from Houston, TX on 10/9/2010 Customer Rating: Turned very slowly with a very sharp skew. Finished the shaping with sandpaper, then covered in thick CA glue. Looked great, until I took it off the mandrel. Found several cracks, and one bean fell out. This is a great idea, but at this price, I will not try it again.
