Hello Everyone. Mike From Long Island Here. Been wood turning as a hobby for many years, started as a kid, gave it a rest for many years.. unpacked my old lathe and been turning mostly small things for a couple years now. Been lurking on the site for a while, mostly in the "other things we make" category, because i never had a interest in making pens (sacrilege i know). I make alot of pipe tampers and small "lathe assisted" carved pieces like chess figures, figurines etc.
Well as of recently, i got into calligraphy and don't like options and feel of alot of pens, and wanted to get into turning pens for myself and maybe couple as gifts etc. I know nothing about pen making other than the couple dozen hours of youtubes videos ive been binge watching the last few days haha. About to place order for some supplies etc once i get a good list of what i need.
Thanks All!
