FS: Couple of mammoth tooth blanks

[McKenzie Penworks]

Bought two pairs and realized that I'm not likely to getting around to turning that many with my current project list.

These are both premium Raffir stabilized blanks.

Black is 3/4" x 5" and is $70
Blue is 1" x5" and is $90

I'll ship them for free.

Raffir is the main distributor for the stabilized ones. These actually came from a reseller in Canada.

Sold and I'll message you shortly!

Thanks, Tim.

I would also like to buy a few of your own cast blanks if you have some ready.

There is no rush, so I can wait until you do some casting.

That blue one is incredible, how are these drilled and turned? What special tools are needed?

Most important tool for these is patience... You'll hear a number of people say you need various tools but I think the keys are avoiding heat when drilling, start with a pilot hole and work up. Knock the edges down by sanding and then take light light passes with carbide. They take time and you have to be careful when pressing together but the finished pens are quite nice. Couple of threads on here from folks that have taken on the challenge and lived to tell the tale.
