I've been wanting to try this for awhile, ever since Peter Brown made his color pencil ring. I made a pen blank out of a bunch of color pencils glued up with CA glue. I made this out of a bunch of mismatched pencils, so there were some gaps that I filled in with CA glue. The top end blew up on me, so I had to glue that back together. Also, I ended up with one graphite lead pencil, so when I sanded, I made a mess that smeared in the finish, so the bottom is a little dark in spots. Other than that, I am very happy with my first attempt.
I'll definitely make some more of these. I think they will make great teacher gifts around the holidays.
