Hello IAP members.
I am very new to Pen turning but really enjoy it.
Turned my first pen about two months ago.
Bought a mini Jet lathe and am on my way.
A good friend of mine has been at it for awhile and taught me the basics.
Looking forward to learning allot from this site.
My first questions is, where can I find "fig" and "weeping willow" pen blanks.
Anyone have experience with these woods?
I found some fig blanks out of Australia but they are very expensive when you add shipping. It would be about $16 for one blank. ($8 for blank and $8 for shipping.)
Thank You,
Alan
