A bit twisted
There was a crooked man,who walked a crooked mile , and found some crooked pen blanks,in his pen blank pile
Somebody who shall remain nameless sent me some freshly cut pen blanks about a year ago ,pulled them out today ,and no I don't think they came from a "corkscrew tree" lol
A few challenges in this lot hehe. cheers ~ JohnG'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!

Still plenty of wood in them though, so should be able to line up the drill bit on the press drill, just don't drill on the lathe
