Great looking pen! $10 a blank? Man, I should have charged more for that wood when I was selling it. [}
] Radman, are you sure you got the oak? Most of what I sold was the Pine, but all of the oak was from a single board and all of it would have been about the came color as the one shown here. The pine comes out lighter, but not as light as pine from say the BORG.
I'm surprised to hear FOR has some of the wood left. Their original plan was to clearance out the wood to a flooring wholesaler who makes specialty flooring for period homes, I thought that already happened, guess the plan changed. The few pieces of this stuff that I have left won't make a full blank, so they will one day get the "worthless wood" treatment, once I get some time.
