Black Walnut Pen Blanks, Help Please.

What price are they going for in the market place. If you had some specimen blanks then you could ask more.

I may have to come up I65 and check them out. I just turned my first walnut pen and it finished incredibly well. Send me an email Dave let me know when would be a good time. Oh and directions to. I’m guessing a thirty minute drive from downtown area?

looking at Woodcraft, where I would typically buy something like this, they are priced at about $1 a piece. Of course they need to be purchased as a 10 pack which makes sence to me.

you may be better off keeping the blanks closer to 5” in length also as that appears to be the standard length for a pen blank, and could give you an extra blank or two depending on the length of your stock.

Yep Keen, about 30 min or so. I’ll send some directions.

Darryl, I think you are right about the WC price, but I kept seeing prices that were way below and above that and my pea brain couldn’t handle the strain, so I figured the folks here would be a better indicator.
I used 6” lengths because that was the left over size from another project..and I was too lazy to cut them again.
