M3 Pen Blank - Cobaltium

Turn something that looks and feels like solid metal without the challenges of machining actual metal stock. M3 (Macro Molecular Metal) composite blanks combine real metal particles in a durable resin binder, giving you the weight, shine, and metallic character of steel, brass, copper, and titanium in a material that’s far easier to turn and polish. Made in the USA by McKenzie Pen Works, M3 blanks use an updated urethane-based resin formula that improves strength and impact resistance over earlier polyester-based versions, so your finished pens hold up to years of everyday use. Each blank features a striking blend of real metal content, giving every pen a one-of-a-kind pattern with genuine metallic depth you won’t find in ordinary acrylics. Every M3 blank ships with a certificate of authenticity detailing the materials used and care instructions, so you and your customers know exactly what you’re working with. Turning and Finishing M3 blanks contain real metal, so standard woodturning tools won’t hold an edge against them for long. Carbide-tipped turning tools are recommended for clean, efficient cuts without excessive tool wear. Once shaped, polish your finished pen with M3 Metal Polish to bring out the full depth and shine of the metal content, giving your piece a true mirror finish. Specifications Blank size: 3/4” x 6” Includes certificate of authenticity with care instructions
