1 year anniversary

[ajollydds]

As I hit my first year of penturning, I wanted to thank Jeff et al in IAP management for running a spectacular site.

Thanks to the vendors with great customer service.

Thanks to the amazing artists that share their work, and especially those that share their process and help teach people like me.

Thanks to the segmenters, you inspire me to see that blank making can be as much fun as pen turning

Lou metcalf (pretty wood pens) and William presavage (no idea how he made that amazing wave blank)

Lastly I'd like to share with you all the joy of this hobby from harvest to finished product.

Found some burl in the woods.


Turned it into a pretty wood pen.


As Mark James says, "have fun!"

Thanks again to all in this community.
