Hello from Maine

[TheAcadian]

Hi everyone! Glad I found this site.

I'm a photographer and maker, born and raised in Connecticut, now living in Maine after a short stint in New Jersey. I love it here in Maine...pine trees, ocean, lobster; it's pretty great most of the time. I have a lovely wife and a happy 2 month old boy.

I just recently got in to pen turning and have been eating up all the videos I can on Youtube. I'm definitely hoping to learn a lot from the fine folks here.

Here's my latest pen, made with wenge:

Cheers!

Chris

Welcome and very nice pen...well-matched too.
I have family in Stamford, but CT is a big state. Vacationed in Ogunquit - beautiful, and happened to meet the Bush family at a minor league BB game.

Arvada is another suburb of Denver, could be as close as 10 miles. I was born and raised in Torrington, we were almost neighbors.
