Hello from Texas!

[FTDavid007]

Hello,
I started turning about 6 years ago and have been turning rather inconsistently through that time as life has a way of malessing with plans. Here's some pictures of my current project, hoping to finish it up tonight.
It's gonna be a wild one. Concava pen kit, chrome hardware.

Welcome to IAP. You will find a lot of pen turners come up with some innovative ideas for blanks.

Welcome David! You are in the right place. This is a "Come on up, sit a spell, shoot the bull, yu'all come back now,hear" kind of place. Be sure to check out the library under menu item "Resources", "IAP Library". Lots of good information there!

Added later; I really want to see that with finish on it. It looks good.....

Welcome from Albuquerque, I am a transplanted Texan. Don't really miss it. Grew up in fort worth. Almost no bugs or humidity here.
As said above, lots of nice people here and a huge knowledge base.

Welcome from the Lubbock Texas area!

There is an AAW chapter in Lubbock, the South Plains Woodturners: https://www.southplainswoodturners.org/

A chapter is a good place to learn and make contacts.

HI David, welcome from Hurst

The closest AAW Chapter to you is probably the Woodturners of North Texas - http://wntx.org/

Finished pen for anyone interested.
I kinda wish I'd spent a little more time on the details but it's done now.

 

[Scriptitans]

Very good job David.

 

[Mike]

That turned out nice.
