The blank on this Bolt Action pen is White Marble Simstone from WoodTurningz. This material is a little more brittle to turn than most other resin blanks according to my buddy (SteveAxelrod) who gave me my first lesson in pen turning today. Upon assembly the blank developed two small cracks, one at the top and one at the bottom. Never having had that problem in the many pens he's turned, my buddy thinks this was a factor of the Simstone...so no more Simstone blanks for me!
Despite the cracks, it was a fun experience and I can see how penturning can become an addiction!
