Last Wednedsay afternoon I had the pleasure of helping a young lad, the son of my wife's boss turn his first pen. I went and picked him up and we headed to the shop. He picked out a wall street kit and an Osage Orange blank. So we began the process and I let him get the feel of the tool cutting the wood. He was on cloud nine, and when he got it round, he asked me to finish it up. After I finished turning it, I let him sand it down and then I began the process of putting on the BLO/CA finish. He could not believe how easy it was to put the finish on it. Then I put it together for him and he was so pleased. His mom told my wife that he is hooked now. I wish I had carried my camera with me. He carries it everywhere he goes. Now his friends want to make them one. May have created a monster here. I was pleased to have the opportunity to spend the time to show someone how to make something they will cherish for a long time.
