I just started turning pens, mostly to inspire my kids to get out to the shop and learn how to use the tools. My youngest is really having fun. She has turned 3 pens, and given the season, asked to make some things for mom, grandmas and grandpa for Christmas.
As my dad is my teacher, and his hope is for all his grandkids to learn woodworking, she wanted to make him something special.
The clerk at Woodcraft turned us on to a $15 blank of snakewood. We then found this forum and learned more about the hazards of this choice.
She wanted to make a razor kit, and insisted she try the snakewood. I can't tell you how proud she is of her first serious effort. You can imaging how proud I am of her.
I can't wait to have her give this to my dad on Christmas!
