My good friend and fellow turner called me the other day and said he had some veneer he bought years ago and would I like it for my pen blanks. Like me he started out making non turned items and was going to use the veneer to dress up the furniture he planned to make. Between then and now the turning bug bit him and the veneer was forgotten. He delivered it this morning on his way to work. I have some left over steel from my tool making days and we are making a trade. He has just saved me hundreds of dollars and I get to clean out a pile of steel.
