I am Steve Guzy, and happy to join this group. I am a career selfemployed woodworker. Due to significant back pain which is very limiting, I have transitioned in recent years from custom furniture work to only making small but high end "gift" type items which I sell directly to the public, and also wholesale to some stores here in the islands. About 18 months ago I started turning pens and this has REALLY got into my blood! My lathe is configured so I can have the relief of sitting down while working. I sell the pens along with the other wood items two days a week at a resort. As the quality of my work has improved I have built up to selling about 20 pens a month in the range of $135 to $275 with the top one sold for $435 (RH/Gold FP Lotus in Imperial Jade). I am looking to expand onto the internet this year. Learning from the members at this site has been of great value, and I know there is much more to learn! Glad to be here and thanks to everybody. Steve
