Hello,
I am doing a little market research here to determine the interest in herringbone design pen blanks.Some of you know me as the segmented pen blank vendor. I like to experiment with and try to design/ offer new affordable blanks for the pen makers. Many of my designs work out , but are too time consuming and would require a high retail cost. I just recently made the two 30 degree herringbone design blanks shown in the photo. One uses 1/4 " wide pieces of wood and the other uses 3/8 " wide pieces. This design for a pen blank is not new and is not mine. However, I see many variations of this using different combinations of wood / angles , etc.
What is the market for these blanks and what price range ?
Would appreciate any comments , and willing to share construction techniques . It takes the right tools, practice and patience .
Thanks for looking.
