This is made for no lathe pen challenge by Bill Livolsi (One Car Workshop) . I did go to Rockler and got some pen blanks and made a pen with wood, but it was not unique. So I came up with this idea to make the pen out of something most unusual. I used Quikrete Quick-Setting Cement. It will get doughy at after 3-5 minutes of adding water, so you can shape it. If you want to see other pens from the challenge here are some( and they are not ugly like mine) Here is the playlist by Bill https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHoCZ7LR6hNrJHIlhZxW876wEhs9ReQTt
