Blanks for ServicePens 2013: Cost of shipping only

[GaryMGg]

Hello everyone. The following is available in unlimited supply:

I will provide a small flat-rate box containing 20-22 blanks to individuals who will make 2 or more pens for the ServicePens 2013 project:
ServicePens 2013

You pay only the expense to mail the blanks to you, which is typically $5.80

These blanks will make nice pens worthy of being given to our Servicemen and women to honor them for the work they perform protecting our country.

Thank you,
Gary

Some highly figured walnut and Sapelle in there too.
Thank you.

I am a service member. I am currently making pens for my fellow service members... and I will contribute to your program as well. I like blanks!

Terry,

Left to right

Top row:
oak, sapelle or spanish cedar, cherry, oak, cherry, maple, maple, maple, sapelle, cherry, sapelle

Bottom row:
Sapelle, cherry, maple or poplar (can't tell), cherry, cherry, can't tell, oak, oak, sapelle, maple, oak.

The sapelle (African Mahogany) is highly varied in color and figure. It takes a CA finish really well and segmenting with cherry, maple and sapelle makes some very nice looking pens.

Thank you.
Gary
