got some true stone blanks yesterday from R&B
had to drill one straight away could not wait to set up my new turning area drilled it for a sierra tube ( good value here you can get 2 sierra pens from one of these blanks ) glued the tube in with 24 hour araldite and this morning i turned it and fitted it with sierra rhodium hardware , i am a happy chappy :U:U need to work on the pic quality though .
had no problems with the drilling or turning of this particular blank at all but was very careful because of what i have read about this stuff.

All very good, well done on the first attempt.

Trustone can be easy to turn but also can be a beast, slowly does it.

You won't have that one long.
