Pen turning Magazine

[Kalai]

Hi everyone, I was wondering if there are any penturning magazines or any wood magazines that have articles about penturning on a regular basis, thanks and aloha.

The AAW magazine has been better with getting more penturning related articles in it and possibly, with a new penturning Board member (Kurt Hertzog), we might find more. Woodturning Design also has many penturning related articles. As far as I know there isn't an exclusive penturning magazine (yet). Bob I.

sounds like a job for the IAP!

Woodturning Design has started a regular pen making column that is interestingly enough done by Kurt.
Been happening for a year or more.

Yes
woodturning Design Magazine...if you have never seen Turning Pens & Pencils, by Christensen/Burningham, it is excellent & covers just tons...ask your library to get it and see if you think it's good enough to buy & keep in your shop

Seems to me quite a few of the woodworking/ woodturning type magazines have started devoting some space to Penturning specifically. It is one of those things that make me think that penturning is coming into it's own as a segment of woodturning. Used to be that penturning was consider something you do if you are not a "Real" woodturner. Now, not so much. The talent that is in the penturning community is starting to be recognized.

Kurt Hertzon authors a penturning column in each issue of Woodturning Design Magazine. Also, WTD usually has another article on penturning. I write a penturning column in each issue of More Woodturning...The Penturners Corner. Last issue there were two other penturning articles in More woodturning.

We have a library here with tons of articles. Also, the files of the Yahoo group is well stocked. You may also want to check the articles at the Penmakers guild at http://www.penmakersguild.com

Hay Don, I looked at your article and they are great, thanks for the link, I also looked at the the Pen makers guild and now I want to join (when my pens are good enough).

Daniel, I know what you mean about the stigma of penturning, I have been turning since I was 12 and when penturning first came out I thought the same way you mentioned, but that has changed now, I like the fact that it is a different segment of woodturning.

Zander, that would be a great idea for IAP to start a magazine, I wonder what is involved besides money. I would help donate to that idea.

Bob, I saw you on the Pen Makers Guild, great job

Aloha everyone and Happy Holidays.

There is also Pen World magazine, but it is about pen makers not how to make pens. I am going to be in a future issue..I just haven't applied yet.:biggrin: But seriously..I do want to do that magazine some day in the not too far off future..I'm just upping my game a bit first. I always have this self doubt digging at me, but I know I can do it. Sometimes I wish I was rich, so I could retire and have more time to work on all the things I love doing.

Jeff, that last sentence applies to alot of us. Let me know if you figure out how to do that.
