Wooden Fountain Pens
I've turned dozens of click ballpoint pens and am now beginning to turn fountain pens. The lower one is made of spalted oak that a friend brought from Arizona. When I cut the log on a big band saw, wiggly white grubs emerged. I had to round them all up and dispose of them in a sealed bag right away -- you don't want wood-eating grubs running around your wood shop! Then I had to wait a year for the wood to dry completely. Turned these two today, having destroyed my first attempt.
