New to the list

[thompenshop]

Hello, I'm new to this list. I began turning pens about 10 years ago. Started with kit pens and advanced to turning custom and replicas of vintage pens. I am a vintage pen collector and have found an important nitch in the vintage pen collecting community. I take vintage pens that have been broken and use the parts in new pens. My pens now appear in three collector coffee table books and eight magizine articles. I am now considering purchasing a CNC lathe.If you would be interested in seeing the pens that I turn you can visit my website: http://www.thompsonpens.com
