    Default Fun package in the mail today!

    Package of stabilized and dyed blanks showed up in the mail today. I was floored at the quality vs the stuff I have been using. I have a new contact and he sent me a good sample pack. Since I am new to pen turning, this is the first time I have seen dyed corn cobs. Anyone have pics of what they look like turned? I almost think I should save all of these until I get up to speed.

    Very nice. I have seen corn cob pen done and they come up pretty good.
