Poodle Rotacrylic Pen Blank

This is one in a series of new blanks dedicated to those faithful companions that fill our lives with warmth and joy.

The poodle is a group of formal dog breeds. Poodles are know for their distinctive curly coat and the breed comes in many different sizes (Standard, Medium, Miniature and Toy). The origins of the breed are a subject of debate. Most believe that the poodle descends from the old French Barbet breed, others from a German Water Dog. But there is no debate that the breed was standardized in France. Ranked second most intelligent dog breed just behind the Border Collie,the poodle is skillful in many dog sports and activities, including agility, obedience, tracking to herding, circus performers and assistance dogs. Poodles have taken top honors in many dog shows, and are excellent companion dogs.This blank will fit any mid size pen, and is a great way to show your love and support for this amazing breed!

This amazing piece of workmanship involved many hours of design cutting on a CNC, including thousands of lines of code. Once cut, the upper blank was re cast. The matching blank for the other barrel has no image.

The blank will fit a mid size pen (Jr Gent II/Jr Statesman/Triton etc). Because of the double casting and the intricate design, there is a chance of encountering a small bubble. If you do, it can easily be filled with some of the sanding dust and CA or colored epoxy. As always, painted tubes are recommended.
