Hi from Georgia

[omb76]

Hi guys, wanted to take a second to introduce myself. I live in Cartersville, GA which is just a little northwest of Atlanta. I started turning pens this past Fall, and have been totally addicted ever since! Have recently branched out into bottle stoppers and getting ready to turn my first peppermill this weekend. Also made my first pendant this past weekend and I can see that there will be more of those coming!

I've been checking out the site and have got some great information from ya'll. I've attached a couple of pictures of pens I've done too.

Hopefully be chatting with ya'll some more!
Dave

Thanks for the compliments guys. I'm going to have to join woodturners anonymous pretty soon, this is definitely addictive!

Andy, I'm just a little north of Cartersville off 41, but work in Kennesaw off Chastain.

Welcome Dave, good looking pens.

Welcome Dave! Great looking pens. You are ready to contribute to this forum with pen skills like that.

I am including a link to a PDF file that goes over many aspects of pen turning from finish - to pens - to tools - to methods etc. It is not in detail but a good overview for pen turning. You are beyond most of this but some of it might be helpful.
