It's better to keep your mouth closed and let people "think" that you're stupid, than to open it, and remove all doubt.

Thats a great idea. I have used a number of other materials but I never thought of pen blanks. I go by Woodcraft a few times a month for turning stock and toys.

Are the blanks hollow already?

Based on the pics at the website, here: http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx … ,330,43243, they
are solid, and you'd not want them hollow anyway, for either pens or inlays.
