I have turned a couple of BE pens and they are nice. More Feminine IMHO. One thing to remeber is the Red will turn Brown eventually. I am not sure of all the ins and out as to what causes it and if a good finish could save it. I have some Red Cedar that is a beautiiful Purple and I left a piece in the sun and it was Brown in a couple of days but when I cut it the Purple was right back.
 
I have thought about getting one of those cedar blanks and trying it out. Do you know where to buy just one?

Thanks,

Ray

Thanks Ray! I like the pen too, its my photography that needs work. The image is a bit "yellower" that in real life. It was because of the bulbs I used with my light box. I have just purchased some "whiter ones" and if they are better I will repost.
 
Turns nice - finishes nice - just be sure and tell the person you sell it to that the red will turn if left in the open. Keep it in a purse or something and the red will last for several years. HWH
 
Cedar blanks

I have some very nice color cedar blanks. They were cut in October and dried with a very small space heater which also forces air over them. I've been turning them with no problemas, so I figure that they are dry enough.

Send me an Email okiebugg200@cox.net giving me your info and I will send you a couple. I will also send 1 Bodark blank for your amusement............Jimmy
