As most of you know by now, I'm a wood turner. I mostly turn pens and small items. Some of the pen parts I buy, some I make, and others are scrap wood from other things I have made in the past. This pen is one of the ones for which I made the blank. It's cotton cast in an epoxy resin. Yes, of course, this one is for sale.

Had someone attempt to scam us today. They asked for my Venmo then said they needed my email to complete the purchase which has not happened to me before with Venmo. Then I get this email which was suspicious from the get go. The email address is not one that Venmo uses and wanting more money than them the total purchase come on. Be careful out there m fellow merchants.
