Just to say hi to all fellow turners and the work within the gallery's is inspirational, you know about month ago I said to myself I would never get into pen turning I have always turned large fruit bowls and wooden fruit in natural timbers which I still do' I always had this thing in my mind that bigger is better "ha so wrong". A friend of mine wanted to use my workshop for a while and he said just give the pen turning a go' well now I am turning pens every day and yes it is addictive. Nice to meet you all happy tuning.

The pens I have turned are the cigar pen, classic fountain pen in various African and Australian timbers the slimline and the European design oh and a pencil I think around 40 pens altogether so when I manage to take some quality shots I will post them.
