blanks

As I experiment with different blanks I see butternut. I like the grain pattern and the color. Before I order some blanks, does anyone have experience with the wood? Anything I should be aware of? So far, my two favorite blank species are Olive wood and Bolivian Rosewood. Thanks in advance.

I've been doing a lot of acrylics lately and have gotten some great advice from everyone here on my own process. Now that I've gotten the "me" problems under control, I'm starting to look a lot more critically at the blanks themselves. I know a translucent blank is always going to look...

Howdy! So I turned an epoxy blank from PSI that was pre-drilled and had a brass tube installed. However, the bushings did not fit nicely inside like normal. It seemed the brass tube was too small. I insured the sizes were all correct, they were, and decided to use the lathe to crank the...

I've seen some amazing polymer clay blanks and thought I would experiment. Watched a few video tutorials and figured why not, give it a try. It's not as easy as it looks, but not bad for simple patterns. I dropped $25 bucks at the craft store for an assorted pack of Sculpey III clay and a...

When I first started to do pens I bought several sports blanks that got put on the back burner. Didn't really know what I was buying. They have a 10mm tube and are 2.5" long. I've used the PSI search to identify certain kits that use this size blank however nothing looks attractive. Are...

I have an idea for a set of pens I'd like to make for a fundraiser, and one component of that is using wild sage as the primary wood. I have not seen any offered, so I though I'd see how doable this is. I'll document the effort here if anybody else is interested. I live near a field with lots...

I was given this dark piece from someone who knew I turned pens. (Curly maple is in the background for comparison). The best I can describe it is that it's very dense and heavy and hard as can be...as if it were stabilized but it's just plane jane wood from what I can tell. Is it teak? Thanks guys!
