Sunday night movie--12-1-13--reinforcing wood blanks and turning a pen - YouTube
Tonight I turn a pen blank from Black Palm. VERY DRY black palm!!
There have been a couple threads about turning palm recently so I thought this would be a good topic. In addition, Dawn uncovered some blanks we bought LONG ago and decided to post them for sale on Exotics:
Exotic Blanks :: Wood Pen Blanks :: Exotic Woods & Burls :: Black Palm Pen Blanks 7/8"
As you can see, these are nice size blanks, which could make any pen design. But buy a couple, cause it takes one to "get in the groove"!!!
The first blank I turned reminded me of conversations I had with Eagle: You ALWAYS know when to reinforce a blank with CA!! The trouble is, you KNOW about 2 seconds AFTER it blows up!!
So, on the second blank, I was more careful--resulting in a very nice blank!!
Give them a try!!
Comments welcome,
