My name is Mike, and I have an addiction.

I'm 18, and I've been turning since this past July. Pens have become not just a hobby, but a passion. Christmas has kept me busy, so I would like to post some of my recent work.

A pen I made for my girlfriend's dad out of Ambonia Burl and a Majestic rollerball kit.


A pen I made for the guy that got me started turning. It's made from African Blackwood with Redheart and some aluminum.


A cigar pen made from Buckeye Burl for an uncle.

Welcome Mike. What a great batch of pens you've made! Great work and welcome to the addiction.

Below are links to two threads/articles that have lots of information on pen turning. The first one is a very basic overview of the many aspects of getting into turning pens.

The second link has postings by different pen turners and 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.
