Hello From Perrysburg Ohio

[Aaron Hirt]

Hello,

I have just recently picked up pen turning I have followed it quite a bit over the last few months and got all the necessary equipment. so far I am having a lot of fun with it!! I'm sure I will have a lot to learn from this page.

I have played around with various woods, acrylics, styles, methods and finishes. Please excuse my photography, that is a skill I do not posses yet.

Welcome from a former Buckeye. Nice pens! Tell us about the fifth pen down in the left side. I find it to have an interesting design. Your photography is good. I'm trying to improve my skills in macro, i. e., close up shots. So far, no luck even with the instructions.

That pen is made from bocote and is a continental rollerball pen kit. The ridges I cut into was so.ething i really like to do when making the larger pen kits. Makes a pretty substantial pen. It also worked out with the ridges were right along the grain and created a look of knots in the wood as well
