Welcome! (back)

Rick, welcome back. I took a look and your website and like your work, particularly the homepage photo.

I hope you don't mind if I make a couple of comments on the site. First, I would like it better if the photos in your store could be enlarged more to show detail on the pens.

Secondly, and I know this is controversial to some members, there are numerous spelling errors in your descriptions of the pens. Some may not find this noteworthy, but errors in the description of a teachers pen might disturb a teacher.

Please do not take offense; this is intended as constructive.

Welcome back to the IAP!

Welcome back Rick and Maria.

I also took a look at your website. Its easy to read and wander around. Bu Cav's right - there are a couple of typos. (ie. #14 has "beautifull" - 2 l's.) I go over my website looking for errors at regular intervals.

Anyway, below are links to two threads/articles that have lots of information on pen turning. You are probably familiar with all this, but just in case, the first link has postings by different pen turners and what they wish they had known earlier:

Here is another link - a PDF on the acronyms used here. I am sure you know many but this will help with those you don't.
