Hi, just joined, thought I'd chime in.
I'm fairly new to pencrafting, but have grown to love it in the past six months. I'm busy setting up to start marketing and selling pens and such. Did the Ebay thing, got the t-shirt from that, and wasn't impressed. Too many people looking for bargains, and it's extremely hard to show the true beauty of a pen online. People have to touch them and oooh and aahhh before they're going to pay through the nose, you know? [

I've joined a couple other forums and have found them to be a great resource. I wish I would have thought about them before I reinvented several new wheels. Ah well, it's good to force yourself to think outside the box every now and then, and I still have a couple wonderous and revolutionary things up my sleeve that I'll eventually post about for your perusal.
Look forward to getting to know you all!
Here's some of my pens. I need to get back into the booth and get shots of the newest stuff, but for now...
Spalted Sugar Maple
Cocobolo Sierra
Dyed, Spalted Sugar Maple
Massaranduba with hemp and koi fish inlay with glitter grooves and some color added
Flame Box Elder Sierra
Spalted Sugar Maple Black Chrome Cigar
Michigan Black Cherry Burl
Acrylic Acetate Comfort
