Hey people.
Anyone aware of a source of multi tinted acrylic block in dimensions suitable for turning to build grips(handles) for spin/cast and fly builds ?? I want swirls like you'll find in acrylic blanks for turning pens Thanks HT Harry T. Bell Re: acrylic block for turning grips

Hello Harry,
You might try Woodturningz.com. They sell spindles of acrylic esters that are 1.5 by 12 inches in a variety of colors. I bought one they called abalone, but haven't had a chance to use it yet. I have used their smaller spindles for reel seat inserts and they turn rather well. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Mike Blomme Re: acrylic block for turning grips

You can make them yourself if you want. Go to a craft store like Michaels and get a 32oz can of casting resin, catalyst and Pearl Ex powdered pigments. You can create many different color combinations. I use various dimensions of PVC for molds. Here's an example of what is possible.
