I've been a lurker for a few months. So here is my introduction.
I am a 40 something hobbyist that started turning pens back in February. I reside in Springfield Oregon. One day my teenage son came home from highschool and showed me a pen. I guess I can say the rest is history, Several hundred dollars later and a pretty good box of expirence(screw ups) and I am starting to have some success.
My Son conmpeted in the youth pen contest. It was a lot of fun and we were blown away by the generosity that everyone that provided the awards for that contest. Its been a great hobby for him and I to spend some time together.
I've stabalized punky wood, cast various items with different resins. I'm always looking for new material, and hopefully someday I'll have extra to trade. I'm interested in just about everthing to do with pen making. I love the internet and sites like these that provide resources to make me a better pen turner. Making new friends is always good too.
Everyone is very helpful and willing to answer my questions, a big thank you.
thanks for accepting me into the group.
