Hello all:

While I have been a woodworker for many years, I just started turning with my first lathe. As many of you have said it is quite addictive. I have posted photos of my first 3 pens. Please feel free to comment. I have learned alot just reading the many posts, this place is an awesome tool for learning the craft.

#1 Police Pen for my son using thin blue line acrylic polished with micro mesh

#2 Flamed Purpleheart trimline with CA finish (that was tough, is a little rough)

#3 Had some copper sheet laying around and tried some segmenting, Maple and copper trimline with CA finish.

Welcome to IAP Ken.

I have a very close friend who lives in Dansville and a place on SW Lake Canandaigua. Just last fall he and I visited a Boat Museum in your area - wonderful day.

FYI: The photos did not download.

Welcome Ken. Sorry this welcome is late, but join in the fun. Past woodworking experience helps considerably in getting started in pen turning. Enjoy.
