Hi all, a few people have asked about shell colored and other ocean inspired colors so I dug these out a few days ago and turned them up.
Deep Ocean Currents and I believe it may go by other names from different vendors, .... Its a beauty! Deep blues with hints of lighter blue pearl, greens and splashes of white. Only had one and its the first I've turned but its stunning!
The Abalone was difficult to photograph. Dark green pearl, some blue, black, gold, and pinks, .... another stunner!
These were cast from Simlar PR resin. Although these polyester resins have like characteristics they do have subtle differences. Its definitely a quality material but I have not had the opportunity to field test it. Its super clear and is able to produce some of the most outstanding colors.
I have several more Ocean inspired colors and will post them up when I get them machined. One is Sunlight pearl Coral.
At the moment I have a number of projects going and I try to track them all as some may not get worked on for weeks at a time. These are in addition to my regular knobs, shop plugs and lures, and reel service. Thank goodness I'm retired (lol).
I am also back to working on Adam's, Sal style handles. The cut outs on this style arm will be inlaid with Acrylic so you be able to match the arm and the knob. Hopefully by the time winter rolls around I'll have this and the new style Starburst knobs completed.
OK, its back to work, the best to everyone and have a great evening, .. Lou
Here's a few with the flash. You may see some white specks which are actually pearl pigment. Very difficult to photograph.

Thanks, .. Lou
