Some Buckeye, Ceanothus Burl castings I did for pen blanks. I also used some of the pistachio I got from @Byron Barker with aluminum honeycomb and a couple of stabilized maple burl. Thanks for looking, hope you like them!
Made a few more hybrids last weekend

Thanks Eric I appreciate that!
The first 3 blanks I so much want- reminds me of one of my favorite guitarist Steve Vai, Ibanez Jem, 2K DNA drip swirl guitar! Those blanks are awesome!

Thank you so much! I sure do like doing them. Now if I can just find time to learn how to use my new lathe i can actually make something from them!
I'd say you could post them all and sell them.
@Don Van Dyne I hereby nominate you to start the next pen blank exchange and as the nominator, I also hereby declare the starter box comes to me first. 
Nice job.
Nice job.
Those are incredible! Looks like a Van Gogh painting. You ever get any Sweet Plum from me? It would be great for your projects. Super dense and deep auburn color with loads of voids and checking.

I have a box coming from you currently (shipped by boat) not sure when to expect it but I sure am looking forward to it!
Forgot about that! I was just wondering how many orders I’ve got floating around the ocean at the moment. Hope it gets to you soon.
