Greetings,
My name is Taylor and I live in Houston,TX. I have been making pens since 2000. I just didn't know there was a pen making forum on the web. I have gotten away from turning pens up until about a month ago. I enjoy pens making, I have quite a few other hobbies including fishing, shooting, guitar playing, and woodworking. Thanks for a great forum, I will definately be looking into some of the more interesting pen materials. I haven't seen anything like the cactus blanks, and snake pen blanks. Very interesting. Well hope to see everyone around.

Taylor

Welcome to the IAP Taylor. Take some time and check out the library here on the site. It is a treasure trove of information.

Welcome Taylor! When you get some time, post some pictures of your work!

I am posting links to two threads/articles that might be helpful. The first one is a PDF file that is a very basic overview of the many aspects of getting into turning pens. You know most or all of it already but it might make for some reading or discussion - at least.

The second link has postings by different pen turners and what they wish they had known earlier:

Join in the fun here and help out too!
