Been laminating some blank materials....

[SuperDave]

... from scraps I have saved from furniture projects over the years. Been way too cold in the shop, so I exercised "I'm-In-It Domain" and took over the dinning room table for a couple of nights.

Next step is to cut cubes and stack laminate... maybe combine with other materials... maybe.....

Look great, will make super pens, as long as you drill the hole straight![}]

Nice job so far. Good looking blanks.

That's going to be my plan for this weekend. Just lots of slicing and gluing and quite bit of creativity! Thanks for the inspiration!

some fantastic looking blanks there, what are you using to produce the thinly cut wood veneer pieces.

Steve,

I slice them on the bandsaw then put them through the drum sander a few times to get a nice smooth finish and an even thickness. I have a bunch of 1/16 and 1/32 Madrone I use for the thin white strips.

Well, anything that happens is "by design", right?[)]

They should make great pens.

Sir,

What are you using to glue them together? Wood glue? CA?

thanks,
Rusty

Nice! Can't wait to see the pens. I need to get into the shop and glue some blanks up, since I got that package from BigRob.

Rusty,

Just wood glue and several clamps to make sure the glue lines are minimal and no gaps.

Drill the hole crooked and you'll have a different look.
