So I won the beginner beautiful pen contest. Now I have my sights set on the intermediate for next year.
I didn't think I would have a chance this year cause I almost never shape my pens like a traditional pen so I had planned to make a pen that looked more like a traditional pen. But my work buddy encouraged me to submit a pen that has my favorite profile even if it flopped. I did and IAP responded well. (I made my buddy a custom pen when I found out I won)
I am new to turning and pen turning but I've picked up a lot from looking at others work. I am look for feedback on what I did right and what I need to improve on.
