Whats this tool called? Mental blank!?
I've had a mental blank, whats that tool called where its like a pen and it lights fire at the end so you can burn pictures onto wood.
In sydney, australia, we called it the 'poker'.
In high school (the subject, woodwork), you hold the poker like a pen, and at the end, it would burn up so we can burn-write things onto wood. We used it to write our names in our wooden toys we just made. All was well until some students decided to use it to draw on other things

Your Own Wooden Pen Blanks â How to Cut
Making wood pens, not only an enjoyable hobby, it can also save a few dollars in his pocket. Today, many people appreciate a good tool for writing, and what better way to show that in an elegant and environmentally friendly pen or pencil.
When customers consider a wooden pen, they are for many things.
Remember to sell a pen; you must obtain the client's attention. One of the best ways of doing things that is interesting about a species, color, texture or finish. Without these critical factors, the client will probably not even write, much less take it for further consideration.
After the client takes the pen, he or she focuses on the know-how. Is the good? The perfect finish? Meanwhile, the customer will generally consider the woods and looking for something that stands out.
How can you be sure you have enough white to be sure that your pens have what it takes to make the customer look closer? One way is to cut almost any type of wood you have in your area.
While blanks exotic place and to make beautiful objects in the local wood can certainly be very attractive. In addition, you cannot beat the price, especially if you cut them yourself.
In fact, only one tool is essential, the table saw. Even if a chain saw is very useful and make the job easier, a hand if you will provide the power.
When you are looking for blanks, I'm usually on small branches or trees between 5-7 cm in diameter. Then I saw these pieces in lengths of 8 inches long.
Immediately after cutting the branch at the waist, take the house of latex paint and heavy coats of paint two presentations on pieces of wood. This will prevent cracks develop and ruin it for use as a pen blanks.
Before sawing the wood must dry. It usually takes about 10 months on a piece of wood that size. Of course, it is better to keep your wood from the weather during the drying process.
• IMPORTANT: You can get seriously injured and / or injure members of sawn lengthwise on a table saw. These members are prone to stick and corner of your wooden blade at the root of the theft of the saw if you do not pay attention. You are responsible for your own safety when using this or any other power tool.
When wood is dry, I cut about 7 / 8 inches wide, cut white 7 / 8 inch square. This is a good size for most any pen blank you could do. Also, while it reduced by about 2 inches by 3 inches for caps blanks. Consider making a pen, pencil, paper, a bottle cap and the same type of wood.
Here is a useful trick: Label each blank with the type of wood when you complete the operation of sawmills. Use something permanent as a Sharpie pen. May you recognize the woods today, but I assure you it will be difficult to ID for a year from now, when mixed with other virgins of the same type of wood. FIG" wood “This is a good time to consider storage of your blanks. Options include plastic totes that fit a shelf space such as a plastic shoebox or something bigger if needed. Plan ahead, you will find you may have more pen blanks than you have room for!
So keep looking for wood that you can turn into pen/pencil/stopper blanks, have fun, and perhaps put a few extra dollars toward your hobby.
