" gone to a better place " Pen blank memories

[shadetree_1]

Back many, many, many years ago when I first started and had absolutely no idea what I was doing, I didnt know you needed to drill the blank first, I thought, we'll let's see they will look like with the CA finish I've heard so much about, the years ago result, yours if you want to try to salvage them, pay the postage of $11, maybe finish one and send it to me. 3 of them are DIW i think.
I know they aren't salvageable but its some of my history, it was fun to find them and remember.

Don't be offended bud, just watch your back ! Because he's a tricky bugger ! You won't even know he's there until it's too late !!

I don’t think they’re messed up at all and they can still be turned into pens. :)
