Hi everyone
Can anyone give me any suggestions for making antler pens without the blanks splitting? I am currently using the click pen kit from Craft Supplies USA and about half the antler blanks I turn end up splitting or being crushed by the chuck while I am trimming or drilling. Also, the antler I use wears out tool bits like nobody's business. (I make my pens on a metal lathe) Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
