Hello all, I am just starting out turning and have been using pens to learn. Here is a picture of my first pens.
They are black walnut, black walnut and mahogany, and purple heart. Nice to find this forum, I am looking forward to learning a few things and sharing ideas.
I have been starting to turn some of the spalted maple I collected from a tree in the back yard. I have been using CA to harden it up as I turn. I cannot afford to build a vacuum to stabilize it so...
If anyone is interested in walnut or pecan for turning, I am willing to trade some wood as I have 2 large trees (30"X15') to cut down and looking to increase my variety. I know this is the wrong section for the swaps, but figured 1 hello post to start the ball rolling.
