That is why I would love to see a February Bash contest for making the skinniest pen, then we could see what we normally drill out!

What if the inside isn't the best part and we turn off the outside best to make a skinny pen?

Then we must collect the shavings and cast it , grasshopper !
Just glue the tube outside.

Cut it down the center to make 4 sections and then turn them inside out and glue them back together and then drill out the formerly outside part and turn the rest. Simple.

LoL. As I was experimenting learning the beat dye/stabilization methods I cut nearly every blank into in order to see the results and penetration. Ended up with virtually no blanks to use but a lot of 3/8 x 3/4 x 5" pieces, which I saved. Now to glue them all back together, nice sides out!

Mike, (not intending to give offense to your understanding) - there is a form of turning known as inside out turning.
I don't think this could be done with pen blanks though.

we call that "involuted"or "involuted " turning over here. If you look on Margaret Garrards site she's a wizard at https://www.margaretgarrard.co.uk/story.html
