:)Hi, I am a charity woodturner, and pen maker from Colchester in England, I like making pens from out of the ordinary materials, like the snake skin ones i get from the USA, they work out quite expensive, especially if the are to give away for charity. I also use Bog Oak,and i have just recently managed to get hold of some Victory Oak, which is from HMS Victory, Lord Nelsons flagship,they sell bits of it from bits they take off of it as it is under going long term repair in dry dock in Portsmouth in England. All for now, more from me another time.:cool:

Thx Roger. I'm just a newbie. There are hundreds of people on here, with work, I can never hope to create.

Welcome Roger. You may not need these links, but what the heck . . .

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

This link has postings by different pen turners on what they wish they had known earlier:
