    Bowl Blank Coring

    I am interested in "coring" bowl blanks to save wood and make nested bowls. Anybody used any of the tools available? Packard says the ONEWAY Easy Core System in the best???? Thanks

    Cam clamp blank

    One of the cam clamp blanks. I laid out the large and small circles on the ends of the blank using the OD and ID for a roll of pipe tape. High tech, I know.

    Red Palm Blank Disaster

    :-( Tried my hand at turning Red Palm last night. The project was supposed to be a Mont Blanc pen. Had my doubts about this wood when I cut the blank to size and it started to peel off long splinters (I use a Compound Miter Saw to cut to length. Went ahead and glued it up the tubes. I then...

    A "Secret Sauce" blank takes it's turn

    From the mad chemistry lab of Jeff.. to the lathe o' experimentation went one of the blanks ala "Secret Sauce". This thing had the most wild spalting I've ever seen in something that was solid. And it had bug holes in it bigger than my shop. I filled the bug holes with a dark purple plastic...

    Pen Blank Holes

    Ok, I'm working on two pens for MIL and FIL for Christmas. I have only a very small amount of the wood I want to use, (it came from a farm they used to own in Maryland), so I have to get the holes right the first time. These pieces of wood are more than long enough, but will be very close to...

    My bowl blank

    I thought about adding this to the current green turning thread but decided to start a new one. Please move it if necessary. Below are a couple of pictures of a maple blank I turned green on Monday. I was going to try the paper bag plan with it just to see how it works. It is about a 5"...

    Tip for making a Checkerboard Pen Blank

    When creating a checkerboard blank for a segmented pen, it is important to drill the hole for the brass tubes exactly in the middle. I use a brad-tip bit to drill the hole, so, before gluing four pieces of wood together to make the checkerboard blank, I use a block plane to shave off a very...

    Pen blank size

    What size pen blanks do y'all use? The main reason I ask is that I have many pieces of curly maple that I miscut, or left as off-cuts, and that are really too small for me to use as scrap. If they are large enough to be used to make some pens I would be willing to give then up to anyone who...
