Hi to all on the site.

I'm a teacher by day, woodworker by night. I've been turning for a few years now (off and on between other wood projects). I've been doing baseball bats, tops, bowls, and Christmas ornaments. I've thought about pens for a while, but didn't take the plunge until recently. I've been tinkering with cheap kits/wood. I feel like I'm getting ready to move on to some quality pens.

I've been looking around the site a bit. Some of the pens blow my mind. It's amazing what some people can transform a piece of wood or other material into.

Actually you will become a pen turner who moon lites as a teacher. The pen addiction will overcome all your other, whatever they are, joys.
