I recently moved and have had to change equipment, which included getting rid of my DP. I plan to start drilling on my lathe. But I haven't even gotten my shop set back up yet and I was asked to participate in a show that is in only about 2 weeks. I know I'm going to have a learning curve and so don't really want to start trying the drilling on the lathe quite yet. So I thought some places/people sold pen blanks that were pre-tubed? I found some that I'd consider more high end, like the type that involved casting of inlays or prints, snake skins, computer circuit boards, etc., but for this show, I don't think that's going to be the market. So I wanted to find just some basic pen blanks that I could avoid the drilling and truing up the ends, but could still sell a pen for a moderate price. Does anyone sell anything like this? This was about the only option I could find that had pretubed blanks for less than $10 and I was hoping for something less than that. I know that's a lot of the prep work and so maybe I won't be able to find it, but most of what I was finding was things that were like $35 a blank and up.
