Thanks all for the lovely comments, it's appreciated.

I'm slowly preparing blanks for sale Peter.
It is a difficult process as I need to offer a standard size and quality. This does "go against the grain" as far as I'm concerned as I end up with many short ends, and "scabby blanks".

These blanks may have pre existing splits or inclusions, but are usually more dramatic than the stable stuff. Many on here would have no problem with these, but I'm sure that selling stuff "pre split" to the pen turning public at large, would do me no favours.

Then again, I could put some bundles together under " come and have a go if you think you're hard enough":whistling::funny::funny:
