Hi guys and gals. Great site! I am learning a lot and I am glad this site is here.
I have some kits and tools arriving soon and cant wait to get started.
Even though I havent started; im thinking of some interesting things to try. One of them is as follows and I wonder if anyone has a picture of what it may look like:
I was thinking of using a bandsaw to cut 45° "notches" around a blank (maple) and then cut pieces of darker wood, the size of the notch, and glue them in place. it should make a loose spiral around the pen when turned.
I am certain once i make my first pen that this will seem like a far future project, so i am curious to see if someone has done something similar to give me something to look forward to.
Thanks to all that contribute their experiences.
Eric
