Hello, my name is Ernie. I happened upon this website a couple of months ago and have learned a lot ever since! I have pen turning pens for about 5 years now. I am in the Air Force and I started turning when I was stationed in Alaska and it was to cold to go out side. I originally started wood working with my scroll saw, and in a magazine saw you could make pens. I talked my wife into allowing me to purchase a wood lathe and have enjoyed it ever since. I occasionally make pens for people upon request but mostly enjoy making different styles of pens/pencils. This past week I made my first fountain pen, the Presimo from Woodturningz.com. I also made a Presimo Roller ball. On this site I learned how to apply a CA finish and REALLY enjoy this on my pens now. Attached are pictures of some of my pens from the past. Once I get the chance I will get photos of my fountain and roller ball posted on the "Show off your pens". Thanks for the great website and I look forward to posting and learning.
