Hi Guys,

Today I got the chance to visit Kirk Franks and he gave me my first pen turning lesson. What a great teacher Kirk is.

This is just a basic slimline made of Satinwood.

I made a second slimline from Argentine Lignum Vitae. Kirk show me both friction polis and CA methods of finishing.

Tomorrow I will start work on my little shop in earnest.

Thanks alot Kirk.

Mike

Shannon,

Just thought it was kind of a plain jane.

Boy I do like seeing those shavings fly when using a chisel.

Kirk gave me some neat material to work with also.

I won't look at small chunks of wood the same way again [:)]

Lovely first pen, remember to keep it somewhere safe as most penturners keep there first creation.
You are lucky having someone showing you what to do, I had to teach myself!
