Hi Everyone,

Great to be back
Had a couple of hours in the shed and turned this lovely bit of Olive - cheers 'Woody'.
Got close to finishing it and noticed a crack so out came the dreaded CA and Brass Powder, cleaned up the crack, filled it and finished off the pen..
Thoughts

Good save Rowdy, nice looking pen, even with the crack.

Sorry the blank cracked Rowdy!
Most of the stuff I took to the gathering was green.
Some people got some from the dry bag, but the bag I left with woody was freshly cut.

A very unscientific tip!

Cut your blank as normal, mark the centre, then insert an Awl. If a black ring appears around the hole immediately, it's probably still too wet.
Give it a week then put the Awl in the same hole, exerting a little more pressure. If no black ring appears, it's probably dry enough for turning.
