Maple Blanks "Small"

[Toevrythingturnturn]

So i just got a bunch of 1/2 x 1/2 Maple and was planning on using them to make slimline pens....question is do you think it will work for slimlines?

 

[Dan Masshardt]

Probably be fine if you drill them straight.

 

[Jim Burr]

I would only trust drilling those on my lathe...either because I suck at drilling or they are small blanks...your choice!

Probably be fine if you drill them straight.

And centered. With straight and centered drilling, there is plenty of meat in a 1/2 x 1/2 blank for a slimline.
