New guy here from central Iowa. I'm a landscape designer by day and a sports nut. I'm 32 years old and graduated from Iowa State University and graduated with a degree in Horticulture and Landscape Architecture. I've always had a deep appreciation for trees and wood and have just now gotten into the hobby of pen turning.
Attached is one of my first pens, a simple slimline. I made this pen out of some left over scrap wood that we had laying around the office from an ipe deck we had just installed. I love ipe wood and this particular piece had a nice knot that I dealt with by continually adding CA glue as I turned it down.
Looking forward to gaining a wealth of information from all of you!
