Bespoke Pen Making | Square vs Cylindrical Blank

If you have specific questions about making pens then I would encourage you to subscribe and hit the notification button because I have been streaming live.
In this video I am turning one of Abbie's blanks called lucky birthday. There are three total pens being made here and it is interesting to see the difference between both the orientation of the blank that you are working with and getting the pieces from but also the difference between a Bespoke (kitless 8.5-9" alumilite blank) versus the square blanks.
You made my day!
