No, it ain't a sales pitch.
I lost 2 different pieces of Red Mallee Burl today making a Designer pencil. I don't know if the tube is bad or what. But when I got close to final thickness on the tip end of the lower barrel, BAM! Both times, same place.
I'm wondering if I should take a new lower brass tube from another designer pencil kit.??? That Red Mallee Burl is nerve racking to turn. Any tips???
Calling it a night and glueing the new blank with Poly glue tomorrow.
