I am a pen maker!

It

Is that stabilized wood? I have problems with that sometimes also, usually just start over. Had a batch of black and white ebony that would not stay together no matter what, also a stick of black palm that I gave up on.

It is, but the key is you have to stabilize it while turning it.

As your turning the pen, you've got to stop after so many strokes, look at the wood and add you CA over the spots you know will blow up. Sometimes it's the whole blank.

Hope that makes sense, I learned that while working a wood like this.

Well I got the lathe going, but went ahead and bought me a new one and have the other as a back up.

Some new pens I made. Stay tune for a give away...

This is what we would call a segmented pen.

People like to color between the lines, I don't!

That's why my branding is PennCasso!
