This video explains how to salvage some of the original surface of pen blanks for a subtle display of the original surface after turning, sealing, polishing, and finishing. It works for blanks made from sports stadium seats, basketball flooring, whiskey barrel staves, wine barrel staves, driftwood, and other materials.
This method is applicable to charred edges from whiskey barrel staves, stained wine barrel staves, weathered edges of driftwood, and various other materials where preservation of the original edge is desired.
