Thanks!
Such a pleasant bunch! I should have mentioned we live fairly near Knoxville, TN. We have a farm just north of Clinton - horses, goats, chickens, and a miniature donkey. I have a sawmill behind the barn and more wood than I can use in a lifetime. In my spare time I like to make music and play with kids (teach a kindergarten sunday school class).
I'll try to take some photos of recent pens soon. After making a bunch for Pens for Troops I decided to make some for friends - some from spalted beech are my favorites.
For anyone interested in other turnings, I put a few photos in a Facebook album which should have public access:
