Hey Bob ...

Please explain to me the reason for including this statement in the rules above:

"- No laser-cut or CNC blank alterations allowed."

Are purchased (from Kallenshaan, Lazerlinez, or wherever) laser-cut and CNC blanks actually allowed in this contest as long as they are not altered? . If they are, I am surprised, because then there isn't much scope for originality in making the pen.
