Hello all,
I'm fairly new to pen turning (actually any lathe work). Definitely have the bug! I've initially used hybrid blanks that I've poured, using brown or red malee(?). I recently started using my laser cutter to make pen blank 'boxes'. There's a very cool website for laser users that helps you make all kinds of boxes and other things, it's https://www.festi.info/boxes.py/ . I love that site. Anyway, I make the box/blanks according to specific pen dimensions, and embellish in different ways. I'm still experimenting! Here are some pictures of a few finished pens, and some of boxes in progress. I look forward to learning a lot from this group!
Best,
Richard
