I truly trust your skill set as an 'elder' IAP member... but to 'get back in the saddle' you chose BOWLING BALL material 
. So there was no maple, walnut, or pretubed corian for you to play with?
The pen looks great! Nice to seeing you have fun.

Bowling ball material once was readily available.
Several years ago I tried to find it wholesale--unsuccessfully.
If anyone knows where to buy the old material, please let me know and we will add it to Exotics.
These days, the "cover" of the ball is too thin to make into decent pen blanks.
I turned a LOT of it, it is FUN!!
Thanks for the memory, Paul!!

Most are too thin for even slimline blanks. Not to mention it's not the easiest stuff to 'harvest'.

I saw bowling balls used for cannon balls on Pawn Stars. Don't know how old they were. Great projectiles.
