Knobs
Are you like me? If so, I pity you.
I can't bring myownbadself to throw away a piece of wood. Within reason, of course. Let's not be ridiculous about it, huh?
But, those pen blank cut-offs. Some of it's pretty exotic stuff.
Sure. They get put to some use, from time to time. Usually, as happy accidents, or afterthoughts.

I could go on. You get the point. I'll spare you.
You know, very well, that, if you keep going with this, you're gonna wind up with boxes full of little Things looking for something to do.
I'm treading lightly.
What I did, after I finished Pen #25, was I mounted the cut-off of the Angle-Cut Canary in the pin jaws.
The "after" of it:
I made a knob that's ready to go on the future lid of a future bowl/lidded box/what have ya, that Future Mark will, or won't, make. I left a foot/tenon of 1/2", for future mounting. Or not. It's finished in YG and HS.
Thank you. And, I apologize.
