Hey!
I have been watching the forum for a while, just joined. I just started turning pens, mainly because I could not find pens that I liked, so I turned my own.

I got into a Thuya wood kick and have bought a lot of it to make 20-30 pens so far.

Getting better, hoping to learn more from this forum.

Thanks!

These are very nice looking pens. How do you make sure that each segment is flush with the next?

I guess being new, I don't fully understand the question. I cut the sections as straight as possible ( an issue with my band saw, so I use a miter saw ) then I glue them together and compress them at the same time. I drill it after segmenting.

Not sure if that is what you are asking, again I am new to this. I do extensive woodworking, furniture building, home remodeling ( my home ) so I have the tools.

That is actually why I bought the lathe, just never used it for the original purpose.
