Hello from DFW

[rekab]

Hello all!
Been reading here awhile finally thought I'd join. I'm in the Dallas area as it seems plenty of you other guys/gals here are. I broke my leg and ankle about 4months ago, wanted to find something to pass the time and decided about 2 months ago to try my hand at turning pens. I'm keeping busy and enjoying myself so far. Hoping to learn a bit and share what I can as I can

Here's a few examples of my work so far

Spalted Marimba I believe

To all - Thanks! Glad to hear you like them. I picked up LOTS of finishing tips from this site and quickly found the CA process that works for me.
