Hey pen turners,
I'm cutting up a bunch of small chunks of wood I have lying around into pen blanks to swap and sell (don't turn pens myself) What is the standard size for a pen blank, and what is the smallest usable size? Looks like most on ebay are 3/4 x 3/4 x 5. Also, is some checking acceptable? I have a lot of high figured/burl iron wood, but some is smaller than stated above and/or has some checking. Pen gurus... Help me out! Cheers, Barry
