Review on WoodRiver Acrylic Poly Resin Pen Blank – Purple Urchin by Doug Taylor

This pen blank from WoodRiver is an excellent option for those looking to add a pop of color and uniqueness to their pen collection. The Purple Urchin design is absolutely stunning and the high-quality acrylic poly resin material has a glossy finish that adds a professional touch to any pen. One of the features that stood out to me was the ease of turning this blank. It cut like butter on my lathe and required minimal sanding to achieve a smooth finish. The colors of the Purple Urchin design also remained vibrant and did not fade or chip during the turning process. The only downside I encountered was that the blank did have some small bubbles present. While they were not noticeable from a distance, up close they were visible. However, this did not affect the overall appearance or quality of the finished pen. Overall, I highly recommend this pen blank from WoodRiver. It is a unique and visually stunning addition to any pen collection. The ease of turning and glossy finish are impressive and make this a great option for both beginner and experienced pen makers.
