Robert,
Are you aware of the monthly COWA meetings? They meet on the 2nd Tuesdays at the Metro Tech campus on S. Bryant. I've not been since Covid, and was sporadic the prior couple years. I meant to go to this week's meeting, but forgot. They used to have a quarterly show and tell which typically brought in at least a few pens; not sure if that is still happening. There are some fantastic turners in the group, including some who have placed high in various shows. They also have classes at Moore-Norman Tech Ctr a few times a year if you're interested in exploring larger items.
