I wish that was state side, it really irritates me that we can only buy the short blanks. Those 5 to 6 inch blanks make for too much waste. Same goes for wood blanks, a 12 inch blank will get 2 normal pens and leave enough for a short blank. The short blanks are only good for 2 pens. A 18" or 24" long blank would even be better.

He's got 40" rods. Nice guy. Good to do business with. Prompt shipping (on regular stuff anyway. I haven't ordered any of the long rods from him yet, but plan on it in the near future.)
