I have had a few enquires about turning these blanks so today I took some photos of turned blanks straight of the tools I find they are easer to turn than a lot of acrylic blanks the first photo is the finish from a carbide tip tool

AND THE TYPE OF SHAVINGS THEY BOTH PRODUCE WHICH DON'T CLOG UP THE ENDS OF THE MANDREL AS MUCH AS ACRYLIC

Hi, Woody,

All well made, as one would expect from the Master, but the only one I really like as a pattern is 3&4 in your piccy. However, I deffo would not pay the price -there are far nicer ones on the market in cheaper materials

I like the black and blue blank much more than the others, they are all nice, but the black/blue really stands head and shoulders above.

They still don't jump out at me as being that nice dad, I need to have one in my hand before I commit to them.
