Hi all, I know its been a while but my 13" lathe is still down with a shattered thrust bearing and 0.030" wear on the journal. So i'm using a friends heavy 10" south bend to turn the blanks. However I still made my largest Damascus billet yet (a 40 layer, 15 lb hunk of steel) It measured 6"x1.5"x4". I forged it out to 0.750" dia. rods 24" long and made 3 of them. that equals 6' of pen blanks, and I had 4' of 9/16" left over from my last billet. so some may see just cut steel in the 2nd pic...I see 2) broadwel scepter fountain pens, 4 bolt action tec pens, 4 buffalo pencils, 8 breast cancer twist pens, 11 trim line pens, 8 slim line pens, and 1 led flash light. more up dates coming soon.
