    Default Figured Yew

    Hi all

    I have had a request from a customer to make 2 pens from Yew (figured). The customer wants the pens to be Roman Harvest rollerballs so the blanks would have to be the larger size.

    Problem is I don't have any Yew figured or plain. So does anybody either have some that they would be prepared to swap or sell?

    Any other ideas appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    Brett

    Was the first place I looked. The blanks being offered look plain not as figured as what would be expected by the customer.
