Good idea, but most of my excess pen blanks are not so square and uniform in size. Your glue ups and joints look right on, nice job.

Answer: there is no such thing as surplus pen blanks. Or: pens.
BTW: I like your board. Are you giving up pen making? ;-)

No, I am actually working on the designs for the next set of clips,centerbands,etc I intend to make. I am also building 3 tables for the diningroom, 42in x48in out of walnut. I just threw this together for the fun of it. I have a dozen or more blanks that have tubes in them waiting their turn. Some of the blanks I have I would no longer use for pens they are to plain. I have a lot of walnut crotch lumber I can make pens out of. If you looked at my side tables under the other things we make forum you can see some of the material I have. Mike

Nice use of material. Doesn't every pen maker have some blanks that they no longer consider interesting enough to use for pens? I know I have a box full that I take to IAP and woodturning meetings for give-aways.

I make 'surplus' pens. Malcom tibbets makes segmented bowls with sabilized pen blanks. Quite cool.
