Just a note to anyone new that is a silly as I am. I wanted some BOW that I called Olive Wood from Israel. (Until I got the buzz word from here it's "BOW" thanks guys)
Any way I ordered mine from Ebay and it was pre cut and bored blanks, which sounded good to me. I didn't think that if the blanks were this short that there would be no way to line up the grain. Now I think some of the wood has been stunning and a couple looked real good together(one of which I managed to blow out). I like the pens I have made but always order full length blanks so you can cut them your self and try and match the wood. Price seems to basically be the same...
