Just registered for the site, but I have gotten a lot of tips so far and have seen a lot of nice pens being turned. I started turning pens after X-mas when my wife bought me all the supplies to get started. It is a fantastic hobby.....

I will try to post a few pics of my pens and hope to get some advice from everyone.....Working on perfecting a finish right now.

Welcome from Norther IL. I started turning roughly when you did, great hobby! Developing a finish process was/is the most challanging part for me. I've settled on a CA finish that still needs some fine tuning.

That's just how I started, Justin. I left a catalog out for my wife, just a gentle hint for Christmas. The rest is history! Enjoy your new hobby!!!

Greetings from sunny southern California, home of Knott's Berry Farm and the Boysenberry.

This link has postings by different pen turners on what they wish they had known earlier:

Here is another link - a PDF on the acronyms used here. I am sure you know many but this will help with those you don't.
