Nice Start! I think the answer to your question is no!

yes... you should get rid of at least half of those. I will give you my address so you don't have to just throw them away.

Great point - I said you can't have too many because you might need to ship a bunch off to somebody!

My considered answer to your Question, is No.
I seek more.
Even though, I will never be able to use them all, in my remaining lifetime.
But I love re-discovering among my Blanks, that Special One, which I haven't seen for years. The one I put aside for "That Pen," I wanted to build and display, the natural Artistry from within the Blank.
That Joy and Excitement, makes me want to collect more and more, so that I can Absorb Myself in that Wonderful, All Embracing, Excitement and Joy of Re-Discovery.

You can never have too many and no matter how many you have you will always get more.

We all have the same amount of blanks (and tools)...it's called "almost enough"...

I know exactly what you mean.. I keep a separate box of those special ones I've picked from the group.. A few more joined the ranks after getting them all out yesterday.
The other thing I realized.. I need more Cactus juice! lots of good burls and spalted blanks in here that could use a little extra support.

Not bad for a start. When you multiply that by at least 5 times let me know.:biggrin:

Isn't that a rhetorical question like can a guy have too many tools or to much horse power or to much money?

To me it looks like you have not been busy enough making pens. I know I am in the minority, but in my opinion pen blanks on the shelf are unrealized adventures. Looks like you need to get busy!

Funny thing that.. Blanks come easy.. Kits cost and yes I need to order more..
I'm down to 2 kits in my stockpile.

I'm not into extreme stockpiling of plain woods. If I cut up all the boards I have id be swimming in blanks.
I find that as I turn longer I get fussier. I could easily turn all my pen blanks in the next year I think if I really wanted to.
Now tools, that's s different matter.

No. Never. Not possible. Nice starter set, though.
