How do you all remember not only what wood you've used in a pen but who and where you got it from? I keep reading that this is a XXXX burl from XXXX using a XXXX kit from XXXX and finished with XXXX, XXXX and XXXX.
If I don't have a sharpee with me when I get the wood to write it on the blank - I don't have a chance. Sometimes the kit bags are marked when I get them and that helps.
But grab bags, and found or donated woods usually fall into that's pretty and that's firewood. I just got my tubes from Wayne and he threw in some blanks (Thanks, Wayne). Two were marked, one I recognized and the rest were beautiful woods to be identified later.
What is your secret?!?[:0]
