Every year I struggle to find something different or unique for one of my annual donations. I found these Maple blanks at last years MPG from Rich Coers ( low48 here, StudiorenWood on Etsy). He has some of the best wood blanks I have ever seen! Handpicking from the vendors is One reason to come to the MPG! I stabilized all of them to secure some of the character in the lower ends from blowing out during turning. All were dressed in Rhodium Jr Gents with a CA Gluboost finish. The caps were eventually engraved with logos of the organization they were donated to. Thanks again Rich and I look forward to seeing what you bring this year!

John, whoever gets one of your pens will be very mightly pleased. They are great!
Lovely bit of timber that you picked up.
 
In the past I also enjoyed some blanks from Rich. Very reasonable price and superb quality. Your set above is excellent.
 
Thank you! I'm looking forward to the MPG also. It will be here in no time and I still have lots of donation blanks to get done.
