Ok, the recent slicing up of my free sliver maple logs (that had spalting streaks), made me think that a few pens might need to be made so this wood isnt wasted. So, i am about to order a pen mandrel and all the extra junk (along with 5 pen kits) to try my hand at pen turning.
My question is regarding drying pen blanks. Will the Dna method work? Or should I rough cut 1" square blanks and let them shelf dry? Whats the best method for green wood?
Thanks in advance....
