I was at Walmart yesterday wandering around aimlessly with my wife when I stumbled across these pen blanks. All I could think was WOW Cross-cut, angle glued, two-tone segmented blanks!!!
So here's where it gets a little weird, they were sitting in the kitchen utensil isle right next to cutting boards?? Crazy!! And well now that I think about it they were packaged and labeled oddly too. The blank I picked up was about 16" round and 3/4" thick, the packaging read Bamboo cutting board?? Well even though it was in an odd shape and labeled wrong the price was right $12.00 and the board seemed big enough for about 22 blanks after I cut it up.
Well today I cut up the board and turned the first blank, good color unique grain, I like it, different but I like it.
So if you like Bamboo blanks and happen to be in Walmart remember, they might be labeled "Cutting board" so don't be fooled!
