New member in Canada

[Sae Eagle]

Greetings to all. Looks like a good internet club. I'm from Oregon but my home is in Canada now. I didn't know what a lathe was until an old timer gave me his 1960 Beaver Rockwell lathe three years ago. Nice hobby, just in time for retirement. A long time turner from New Zealand very recently
introduced me to pen turning. I'm finding it fun. Ran out of space for wood bowls in the attic but I could make hundreds of pens before the attic actually overflows. First five pens photo attached.

Welcome from NC, USA! Sounds like the hook is set already. You're going to have a busy retirement. Hope to see more of your pens soon.
