£9.75? Jeez, talk about a rip-off! They are only 19mm, so only barely big enough to use on a decent-sized pen. While I like Trustone I'd rather spend the money on two acrylics blanks.

They look a bit cheesy to be truestone but maybe they'll be a lot nicer when turned.

I have to agree that they are a bit on the expensive side. I know eBay sellers want to cover the fees by making the buyer pay more, but from what I can see,if you shop around, you'll find most of what he sells cheaper else where.

I have been looking a stocking these myself but saw it as a bit of a gamble. I expected them to retail at around £4.

Think i will give those a miss a bit loud for me

 

[Baldy]

Would be interested in seeing the end results as I have also had a look at these but for a beginner like me a bit expensive incase I #@#$ it ip

I'd stick with acrylics if you're going to stock blanks but there are so many selling them I can imagine it will be difficult to compete. Vince has got a great selection and even some of his are a bit too much for me. Axminster acrylics are the best price for me and they look good and turn nicely too.
