There have been a number of teachers in my pen turning learning and development. As I ruminated on the topic a few come to mind as helping to shape my techniques and approaches.
Don Ward has had a significant effect on my approach to the art. Don has always been free in sharing his experience and his techniques. At the same time, he is always open to alternatives. Don retired from active paid teaching, but has never left the opportunity to teach behind.
When I started turning pens, Jay Pickens was one of those who was trying new things and sharing openly. Jay through his sharing has been a foundational teacher for me.
Rich Kleinhenz has moderated a yahoo group and published articles on how to make writing instruments that go beyond the norm. His outreach has help me better understand the balance on precision and art. A good teacher by example, Rich makes great pens and shares his knowledge freely.
Thanks to all the others who have contributed in so many ways --
