Hello! I have been lurking for a while on this site and have found so much great information. I have been around wood working for a long time, but never really serious. Then I saw something about pen making and it peaked my curiosity. I have always been fascinated with what a lathe can do, and this seemed a perfect opportunity. Plus, a friend decided to get rid of his Jet 1014 lathe and gave it to me for free. Everything just kind of fell into place for me to make pens. So, here I am! I have made three pens so far. Two out of cedar and one from ipe. Both pieces of wood were scraps from deck projects. Both woods were completely different and both taught me some interesting lessons so far. So, I am on my way!
