I’ve got almost a dozen pen blanks that have both heartwood and sapwood waiting to be turned, but I’ll probably mill more today, since the shop is already full of juniper dust I’ll have to clean up. But I’m hoping to get at least one nice pen out of it to give to my doctor, who’s retiring at the end of June.

Thanks, Tom. I’m going to give boards a flex before running them through the planer now, but I’ve got a set of infinity carbide blades in there now, so if those get dinged up, I’ll definitely have some choice words.

May you have the day you deserve!
