I recently won the Blanks, Blocks and Burls auction during the bash, and thanks to Mark James and Jeff have come into possession of a Huang Huali pen blank (along with lots of other great wood). I am looking for advice on what type of pen to use on this. The blank measures 11/16 inch square by 5.5 inches long. I am NOT going to put this beauty on a Long Clicker or a Slimline.
I did a cursory search for Huang Huali pen blanks, and the only thing I could find was from IAP member "Rarest Woods" from 2008. His last post on the forum was in 2009. Here's a link. http://www.penturners.org/forum/f167/huanghuali-b-cs-jichimu-zitan-blanks-39002/
My blank is probably a grade B blank, which was valued at $50 10 years ago. I have no idea how much it is worth now, which speaks volumes about Mark's generosity.
Input and suggestions welcome.
