Newbie Pen Turner

Thanks for adding me! I'm brand new to pen turning. Just got a lathe last year, but got a pen turning kit this year.
I've got a few years of woodworking under my belt, mostly making cabinets, but now repurposing wine barrels into furniture.
Really looking forward to seeing what I can create!

You should be able to get a lot of pens out of a wine barrel . Will smell okay while turning , too . Try to find a stave with a knot or small burled area . Cross-cut usually looks best .
