I have attempted to turn two corn cobs in my brief existence as a pen turner and both have been major disappointments. The first was my fault. I chose too small of a kit. THe second one I tried to turn tonight and it was about the ugliest thing I had ever seen. I chose a cigar kit and it was a green dyed and stabilized cob. When I got to the bushings the dye was very uneven. Dark in some areas and non existent in others. I was so disgusted I turned it off the tubes. I didn't want to waste a good kit on something that looked like that. Is it just me, or do others have the same problem? I know I have seen some beautiful one here on IAP. Is there a trick or secret that I am not aware of? I sure could use some advice.
