Hi-
I've been turning pens for a couple of years, but this is my first post on this site.
I had a crazy idea this morning in bed while I was waking up and wanted to know if anyone has tried it or thought of it before.
My thought was to glue up layers of construction paper to be the thickness of a pen blank and then preparing it and turning it like wood. I figured the glue would add enough stability to the paper to turn it and that you'd be able to get some really cool color layers by gluing paper up.
I'm interested in people's thoughts on this and if the consensus is that it will work, I may try it.
Hope you're all doing well
Dan
