Howdy all, it's been a long while since I was active on here. You folks sure have taken pen turning to another level. The pen on the main page made from cherry pits is incredible!!!
The past 6 years have been an awesome roller coaster. I finished my Master of Divinity, had 2 children born, and buried some beloved family members.
Anyhow, since my responsibilities in life have reached "critical mass", and since I have returned to my beloved lowcountry of South Carolina (where there are ALWAYS fish biting somewhere), I just don't have time to make a bunch of pens. I haven't touched my lathe in 8 months, although the itch has been itchy a few times lately.
I'm going to keep my tools, probably sell one of my lathes (the HF lathe) on Craigslist, and sell off 95% of my favorite pen blank stash (already posted these in the Deals forum).
However, I am also going to try to sell my unused pen kits. I don't have a lot, but I'm not sure how to fairly price them. Is half-price a fair price? These are things like Perfect-Fits, El Grande twists, etc. The only out-of-the-ordinary that I have are a half-dozen of the "tropical" Barons that AZsilhouette had a few years ago, I bought them and never used them. When I am ready, I'll post them up.
