Okay, so I ventured again outside my arena. Here is a pic of a Gent jr cob blanks I cut last night, first ones. Disregard the dye & coloring, after I knew this was going nowwhere, I just started to experiment with oil & dyes.
One side of the corn is smooth and achieved the correct pattern, while the other side is pitty. I ran out of material to cut.
I missed the exact center hole not by much, less than a 64th. So do you think the cob was just to small to make this size of pen?
Tom makes cigar pens which are almost the size of a jr. Do cobs come big & small?
Anyway, this is neat stuff, I am going back to the shop tonight & try it again. Only will try a smaller pen kit and see what happens.
I still think I can dye this stuff to look like snake skin.
Thanks for any input.
