Hi there! I just got a lathe for christmas, so I'm very green as far as turning goes. These are my first pens I've made. They're from a sampler kit from penn state. All the wood is cocobolo, except for the white pen that's an oak branch from the front yard. I definitely think it wasn't quite dry enough to use, as the knots in it have separated slightly since I turned it. It had been drying for some months, and I should have been more patient with it, but I was so excited!
Let me know what all you experienced guys think, and let me know what I could do to improve.
