Price is per blank. The blank shown is representative of the blank you will receive, but is not necessarily the exact blank that you will receive.
Blanks measure 3/4"+ x 5"+.
This is a small run color and is limited to the amount indicated. Unfortunately, these blanks are not repeatable. We may get similar color combinations, but the exact mix and color are not repeatable. Additionally, these blanks are made from cut offs generated over a long period of time and while we have a good variety coming in in the next few months, we do not expect the Stripe style blank to be commonly available going forward.
Most of the stripe blanks have a small solid layer of color along one side of the blank. We've include 2 photos of the representative blank from each color. The two photos show all four sides of that blank. This layer is thin and shouldn't interfere with the finished pen as these blanks tend to be over-sized.
A note about the construction of these blanks: the blanks, as noted, are partially made from cutoffs of other blanks. During the construction, the layers are chemically bonded to one another and the resulting blank is very strong. The manufacturer cut a thin slice off of one of the blanks and the photos below show that slice being severely bent to demonstrate the strength of the blank.
Also, because these blanks are made from multiple cut-offs, some voids may be present. You can fill the voids with medium CA glue while the lathe is off. Be sure all of the glue has cured before restarting the lathe.
