I started making pens in March 2020 when I found my old lathe and was bored. I upgraded and bought a new lathe. I have made a little over 60 pens and just enjoy this type of work. I give most of my pens to friends and family. I sold some but at too low of a price $25 for a kit that cost around $17. I am 73 and having a lot of fun in my old age. If a person gives me a piece of wood I don't have I make a pen for them and their spouse. Hoping to meet other fellow wood turners in my area of Welcome,NC

Welcome aboard from the Charlotte area. There should be a few pen turners in the Piedmont Triad Woodturners Association (AAW affiliate) that meets in the Greensboro area. There is also a woodturning club that meets in the Klingspore shop in Hickory.

We have an IAP chapter that is also affiliated with Waxhaw Woodturners (Carolina Piedmont Penturners Group) but that is likely a bit too far. We are meeting via Zoom for the time being and you are welcome to attend our Zoom meetings. Send me a PM if interested.
