Just noticed that Woodcraft has added some New Laminated wood blanks to their site.

I spotted them in the store the other day . They look pretty good but I didn't feel like spending $12 for a blank .

I was about to ask "what's up with the funny shape?" but (bright guy that I am) I figured it out. Er, I think

Cheers!

wow, $12, (sarcasm on) I'm sure they're worth every penny (sarcasm off)

I bought similar but prettier segmented blanks from a guy on eBay at half Woodcraft's prices.

They do look good.

 

[jimm1]

Nice. Not $12.00 nice.

 

[Skye]

Well, $12 nice, no.

Can I make it for that price, no.

I thought they were interesting - bought a couple with an eye toward some possibilities. with additional segmentation. It never hurts to keep a door open.

Let's see - $12 for the blank, $10 for a kit -- could you sell the pen (jr gent) for $75?? I think I could.

Just a FWIW!!

Thanks for the "Heads up" Wayne!!

Thanks Gary:redface:, now I feel like a real moron!
I can't figure out the reason for the shape myself, so I have to ask;

why the funny shape?

or two WSII pens out of one blank... unless of course I blowout one, curse and throw the blowout against the wall... not that this has ever happened.

To give an idea what the blank looks like both on the shelf and once turned.

Thanks AlphaGeek.

Now I could go back and delete my previous post so no one knows what an idgit I am, but you quoted it, so I am screwed anyway...

thanks for that!

Why can't we just take a little time and make them for ourselves? They aren't that hard to do if you are willing to put in some thought and some effort. The end result will be much more rewarding also. Besides, isn't that why we make pens?
