Hi all,
As you know I have just started out and have only been able to produce one pen as I personally don't have a lathe.
I know that the majority of members come from North America and was looking for some help?
1. The majority of woods used I don't think are available in the UK and have heard someone tried to buy a blank recently but cost of shipping was £15 ($22). What wood that is available in the UK would be the next to try.
2. I keep seeing a lot of segmented pens on the forum. Is there any plans etc for a beginner to try to follow or do you have to use your own imagination to produce something distinctive,?
Especially as I don't really know enough or am I trying to run before I can walk????
I would love to have a go but where do I start
Tom
