Hey Pat, go to the library page - the link is at the top of each IAP page:

Library Index - International Association of Penturners

You'll see two lines highlighted in blue, the first line has several categories. Blanks has articles on making blanks from lots of different materials. Casting has articles on how to make blanks with several types of resin. Lots of info and illustrations.

You can also make pen blanks by cutting up large chunks of wood into smaller pieces. I know that wasn't part of the question but thought I'd just throw that in there.
