Interesting idea; thanks Fred! I think there was a cup-like center in that set; maybe I'll give that a try.
Michael, I went at lunch time. I had to run to the Patent Office to hand-deliver something for a client, and since I was down that way, well, I felt I HAD to stop in Woodcraft!
Picked up a few other goodies, too. As for the resin pens, the black/gray ones weren't dark enough; you could see the brass tube through them. The skin pens I tried all had "issues" (the brass tubes all came unglued (tried a new kind of glue that OBVIOUSLY didn't work), the resin broke off one skin completely, another one cracked once I had it close to the final size, and on another one I was trimming then end and the tube slid, so I wound up trimming the skin too short). As for the pink ones, the CA I tried on those tubes didn't work, and I need to re-glue. If I remember, I'll glue those tonight.
