Nice pen!
was your cob stabilized?

I bought cobs from the feed store in town, took the kernels off, cut them into blanks and drilled the holes. Then I soaked them in Minwax Wood Hardener for a couple of hours, left out to dry, redrilled the holes and turned them. I used CA glue with sawdust as needed to fill gaps. I didn't have any problems with them.

Great!! Our corncob pen was quite the conversation piece at this weekends' show. Actually sold it first thing Sunday morning to another vendor, who allowed us to keep it the rest of the day. She bought it to give to her sons' best friend who was on scholarship in Iowa, who graduates this year....b/c all he can say about Iowa is "the best thing about Iowa is that it has lots of corn' LOL But we will DEFINITELY keep corncobs in our inventory for shows and not just ONE!!!
CJ...since you've made these yourself (CONGRATSon that too!), how do you think thinner cobs would do? We had wondered how 'far' the kernels actually go into the center (thinking on smaller pens)...or if you go off center, would you have a crooking looking pen-- say, kernels on one side, almost disappearing kernels on another? Your thoughts?

I plan to do some experimenting with the sizes the next weekend. The cobs I used for this were pretty big and when I took to much off the kernels disapeared. I am thinking a smaller cob would work better for a slim line without too much problem. I will let you know.
Congrats on your show. One day I will get brave and do one.

I wish MN would stock and label the cobs in the correct size when they grow,In my album is a slim line (My first corn cob)
It's almost like you have to cut the cob and determine which component set will work the best.
The size of the "pith"core usually determines the tube/component size.

As I was playing with the drilling on this pen I noticed the drill bit pretty much took the width of the pith out, so I was going to try drilling a 7mm and matching the pith size to the drill. You reply has confirmed my idea may be ok.
You would think MN would be more considerate.
Your pen without the centerband is great.

Nice pen CJ. Now you can join the ranks of cob snob.
HUH?
