Hi all,
I am Paul from NJ. I have been an on-and-off woodworking hobbyist for a decade or two now but recently picked up a nice second hand Jet mini lathe and in my tinkering discovered pen making. As a result many people in my life this year are receiving turned items (mostly pens) whether they need them or not and I have run through my stock of blanks and pen kits. Having previously ordering from a few of the larger online sources I tried searching for "best place for pen blanks" and was directed to this forum for both materials and insight. I am looking forward to increasing my knowledge and access to highest quality products through this forum. From the brief look through some recent posts it seems like a good group with some very nice blanks.
If anyone has a good assortment of blanks (and/or kits) for sale I would be very interested in experimenting with new materials. I am not picky as to type of wood, castings, etc, so long as the pieces are interesting/unique. I will peruse the marketplace as well.
Thanks!
