Heya all
I am turning a couple of antler pens ... ordered pens. I turn between centers with Johnny's bushings as I do all my pens.
For a reason I am unaware of, the pen blank keeps getting turned off center... there is a noticeable wobble on the head stock end but the tailstock end is spinning true, on both the upper and lower blanks.
I don't know what is causing this unless the antler is warping as I turn it.
I don't know how "fresh" the antler is .... it was given to me to make these pens.
Thanks for any tips you can give me.
