PSI animal skin blanks

Has anybody turned these?
Animal Skin Pen Blank Bar Combo Pack of 5 at Penn State Industries

Any pics of finished products you could link me to?

I'm interested in turning these, but I'd want to cut the blanks in half length wise to get more use out of them. Otherwise I don't think I could do it...

Thanks!

Not from PSI but I think it is the same stuff. I think it would be a bear to thread.

I've done a zebra style. When they are cut in half, probably the most you could get is a slimline

I have done many. You can get two out if you cut carefully and use a very thin kerf.

Ours come with instructions.

here are the pieces i made from the zebra. However, i got mine thru Exotics, but they look identical

I've done several, blanks chip out very easily. Very difficult to get as many pens out of the block as advertised, might be better if the 'block' was ¾ x ¾ x 6 …

Here's one I did from a blank I got from Ed and Dawn. I did a set with this one and the silver snow leopard but cant seem to find the other picture. They were a big hit and fun to make.

Snow Leopard Blank

Here is one I did with the Snow Leopard blank on a Apollo Infinity. It turns different and I was only able to get one pen out the blank due to the size of the pen.
