Should I sell all my lathe turning tools????
Just not sure if it is worth the while to turn pens and try to sell them any more. Seems to me the thing to do is just make pen blanks and sell them. All I see here on this site as well as on Facebook and other pen sites is people making blanks and offering for sale. Mix a little color here or there and sell. Cut a wood stump and sell. Then you have all the specialty blanks such as watch parts, segmented, snakeskins, bottlecaps, decals and so on. Who buys all these blanks??? It is mindboggling. There sure must either be a lot of blank collectors or pen makers that can not make their own blanks.
I think I chose the wrong end of this pen making deal. I have boards and boards of different woods. Cut them up and sell for pen blanks and I probably could triple my money+++ easily. My braided blanks I could sell and make a fortune. I really do need to rethink this pen stuff. For the life of me i never seen such an influx of blanks being sold.
I think I need to sit down with myself and have a serious discussion about this pen making stuff
