Turning these seam rippers was a lot of fun. You can experiment with a lot of different shapes, not to mention all sorts of different wood or acrylic blanks. And you won’t break the bank with even the most exotic woods. Then, after you have finished with all the blanks you have, you can use all the cut-offs from them to create more blanks to turn.
