Made these after lunch today after a member of another site started a topic about them yestreday
Picked up four rippers when I was in town this morning (blue ones) white one is one my wife has had for years.
These are a great little project to turn. Takes about ten minutes each.
A good idea for ones like me that have hundreds of pen blanks but the market for pens in their particular area has all but dried up.
I expect these will sell very good at craft sales because a lot of sewers and seamstress's and quilters either visit or have tables set up at them so they attract a good clientele of people looking for such things.
I expect they should sell real good for $5.00 . Not bad for a $1.00 piece of hardware and ten minutes of turning .
From left to right is elm, plum, spalted birch, figured walnut, and dymondwood.
Wife is claiming one but is still trying to decide between the plum and the spalted birch.
Pictures are of before and after.
