Not keen on the blank myself but I'm sure some of my customers would love them and the customers always right (well some of the time) so I may have to make some

Nicely turned and finished.
Bummer about the delamination.
Put a few drops of Black Indian Ink on a tooth pick and let it wick into the delamination.
