I have about 300 bf of 5/4 SYP, so I just picked a nice knotty board and cut out all the knots. Believe it or not, I got it through freecycle. It was apparently used as spacers between some sort of stacked material. He had 80 boards, 4" x 8' in 5/4 thickness. I"ve promised some to two turners. After they pick their pieces, I'll put the rest up for whoever wants it.
This is not my PITH pen but I wanted to turn some of the SYP to see how it would look. It is filled with turquoise and is going into a bandless black chrome slimline. Sorry about the glare, but it was just a quick pic with no setup.

Probably would, but why cut up a nice bowlThis is the beetle kill pine that Isalndturner was talking about. Should look good in a pen.
