Hi all,
New to turning. Just bought my first lathe off Craig's list a few weeks ago and started turning. The lathe came with a some pen kits so I figured, good way to learn how to turn. The pen kits should come with a warning about their addictive qualities. The best part of turning pens, all those little scraps of exotic woods I have been saving and wondering what I would ever do with them, suddenly have a purpose. A small piece of ziricote I have been saving for over a decade is now a blank for a pen for my son!
Pic is my first two pens. One cocobolo, one walnut.
Looking forward to learning and sharing here.
Thanks,
Carl.
