ISO Steeler color pen blank

[Ridgewoodworks]

I am making thank yous for people who assisted with our wedding this year and one requested Steelers American football team colors. Where would you all suggest I find black and yellow or black and gold blanks. I want both colors to come through nicely and i dont want to pay more than $6 per blank really but will go to $10. Ive been searching but I'm not sure what to settle on.

How many of these blanks do you want ?

There are people who will make custom blanks for you (I am not one of them) but they would normally require a "run" of several blanks of the same design. . I think that is quite understandable.

"Ive been searching but I'm not sure what to settle on." ..... this statement of yours leads me to believe that you already have possibilities in mind.

Yeah I have a couple. Mostly from PSI but they aren't what I've been told to get. People say acrylester blanks a very fragile when turning. Also the ones there dont normally come out how the picture depicts them.

I'll see about that option and talk to some indiviuals and I think I'd like at least 5 of them. Hopefully that helps and thanks for the reply.

I like to use the team color line from PSI. They have many of the pro and college colors. They are very easy to segment with and turn easily.

I have turned these...thay are pretty cool - must take light cut with sharp tools.

I made one for a Steelers' fan using a bumble bee lava blank from Bear Tooth: https://www.beartoothwoods.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=2483

It was a pretty easy turn if I recall.

I settled on this one. Will be awhile till I get the delivery but looking forward to it.

I have a guy who makes my blanks. I like Gatsby pens over Sierra Vista

One is Spectra and the other is from Exotic Blanks. The person who has it LOVES it.
