     I made the barrels of this pen by first carefully affixing each postage stamp on to brass pen tubes. The tubes with stamps were then placed in a mold with clear acrylic resin and cast in a specialized chamber under high pressure. This step assures a bubble-free casting. After the resin cured, I turned the blanks on my lathe and finished with sanding and polishing.
