They look very nice and i could be wrong but they look like Dymondwood blanks.....if they were very hard and polished easy then thats my guess:rolling:

They look a couple of fine pens Andy, well turned & finished :thumbs::thumbs:

They are indeed Dymondwood blanks, a cherry and a burgundy I think, not much Dymondwood available anymore since the factory burnt to the ground. Was produced by Rutland Plywood in I think, Vermont USA. Fire in August 2014, no production since then :sob::sob:

Thanks for clearing that up Billy, they were pretty hard blanks but finished up ok :thumbs:
