Thanks Merlin. I wear a mask when scrolling and clean up with a shop vac once in a while. It's very kind of you to offer some Rimu but I have plenty thanks. Pretty well everything I cut uses reclaimed wood from the recycling centre. Rimu seems to be the most common although I have found some oak, mahogany and some matai floorboards on occasion. A friend also gave me a big piece of Massa (aka Pacific Jarrah) which used to be a fireplace mantel which turns well. How are your pens coming along?
