In a continuing effort to think outside the blank, and to reduce my scrap accumulation, I decided to try another pen blank. I had the shop all set up to cut very thin strips of wood for a run of my free-form cutting boards and I said why not cut a few extra while I have everything dialed in. So I made some laminated pen blanks. Here's the result of the first turning:
And now my question, I can't just show pictures without engaging in conversation :roll:
I made more than enough blanks, these are cut on a sharper bias than the one I turned, for my needs. Would anyone be interested in them. I'll trade pen kits for them. They're probably only good for a slimline style kit as they are a little less than ¾" square (I was off slightly with the lamination).
If nobody expresses an interest in them soon , I think that I will glue them up as they sit in the pic and re-cut them and perform Experiment Part 3 (don't know the French for that :eusa_doh: )
What y'all think???
