    Default Not a pen - but made from pen blank off cuts

    Thought I would share these as I suspect I am not the only one with a growing number of off cuts from pen blanks. The earrings below were turned with pin jaws holding the blank and turning a slight dome, sanding and finishing then separating it from the stock and then turning the second dome.

    These earrings were made from the off cut of our turquoise resin pen blank.

    Cheers
    Bruce
