Just wanted to introduce myself. I live in Pasco, WA and am originally from Yakima, WA.
I have been turning pens for 1 1/2 years now. I have made many beautiful pens.
Prior to making pens, I made Intarsia for almost 19 years.
I recently retired at 62 due to a knee injury that after 40 years, finally decided to wear out. Been dealing with a staph infection in my knee since January of this year. 2 surgeries and finally on August 29, I find out if I can actually get my knee replaced. I am so excited to get this behind me.
I hope to learn a lot from this group so I can improve t he quality of my pens.
I look forward to be a part of this group.
