I'm new to pen making. I bought a box of hardwood cutoffs from Amazon and I'm happy with what I got. Mostly cherry, but some beach, ash, and the rest I'm guessing is oak. Nothing exotic. This is good for me because I'm still practicing. None of it is stabilized or anything, but it's turning ok as is (I haven't turned any of the question-mark oak).
I was in Home Goods last week and they had a stack of olive wood cutting boards for around $20. Do you think it would be worth cutting that into ink pen blanks? Has anyone tried it? I assuming it's solid wood and that the finish is only a few mm off the top.
