Bill, I find a great source for FREE pen blanks at my local custom door
makers' shop. They usually have tons of scrap maple, walnut, cherry and
mahogony in thier dumpsters! It's unbelievable what they throw out! I
know my dad also frequents a local furniture shop where he lives and
they give him all the maple he can carry!
