Hi From New York

[oops99]

Hi All,

I just wrote to a post and realized that I never introduced my self.
I'm Tom (oops99), retired carpenter.
I got into pen making in Jan of this year.
I look foward to meeting you all. This seems to be a very talented bunch. I belong to 2 other wood turning sites, and I hope to become a part of this family.
It's really late so I am making this short. I'm sure I'll learn quite a lot here, and Hope I can share what I've learned so far with all of you.
Here is a sample of the type of work I've done so far.
Any comments welcome.

Nice varied collection you have there.:star::star::star:

Last three photos caught my eye!

Not so fond of the background.

Welcome Tom,
What a great looking bunch of pens! Black & white segmented Corian, the pen with the brass are my favorites.

Very good photos, too!

Tom, you are off to a great start. Your woodworking background is apparent! Keep up the work and keep posting.

I usually welcome people to IAP with a link to a PDF file about pen turning. It is primarily for people new to turning but I don't want to leave you out.

Since you have been a member since January, you probably saw that already. If so, apologies for being redundant. :biggrin:

Tell us a little more about the bottom pen - what is that made from?
