I turned a couple of the blanks I got at the Ohio MPG the first one is Chris's Purple Sparkler Blank with a Sierra pen kit. (It is more sparkley than in this photo). The second one is a mini pinecone resin blank that I won at the MPG. I also put that one with a gold Sierra pen kit. This pen was a challenge and a learning experience. Sure am glad I have Dale here to help teach me as I go.
