Joining from Pearland, TX

[Halfcaff]

Hey everyone! Just found this site the other day. I have been making pens for over 10 years and still love it. I mainly like to turn burls and spalts. I moved to Pearland, TX a couple of years ago. It seems like there are quite a few people on here from Texas. Anyway just wanted to say hello!

Welcome Caleb. Below are links to two threads/articles that have lots of information on pen turning. The first one is a very basic overview of the many aspects of getting into turning pens.

The second link has postings by different pen turners and what they wish they had known earlier:

Here is another link - a PDF on the acronyms used here. I am sure you know many but this will help with those you don't.

Hello Halfcaff from Crosby Texas

I'm up in the Heights. Welcome... and you should definitely turn some polyresin sometime soon. I get far more "ooohs" and "aaaahs" with them than burls
