[Brandon]

Hi my name is Brandon O'Connor. I live in the usa. i am 14 years of age and i like to turn. I need everybodys help fast. I am looking for a website where i can buy pen blanks that are already cut to a pen blank size, also already drilled so the brass can be glued into the wood, last i need the wood to have the brass already glued in there. I need all 3 of those things already done to the wood because i cant do this myself since im so young. If you can help me with this please do i would be really greatful. Thanks for all of your time.

Hello,

You could try some of the following links ... they may help you. I have seen may pre-drilled acrylic pen blanks but not many timber. I did see one the other day on an american site ... the link to which I got off this BB somewhere that cast the brass tubes into the material. It would not be hard to glue your own and then square up the edges when it is one the lathe.
Good luck
