I like experimenting with tools. A while back I bought a Crown 3/8 inch spindle gouge. Anyone turn pen blanks, wood and synthetic, with a spindle gouge? Thanks.
Pen blanks with a spindle gouge?

Yep, when I first started turning I wanted to learn how I could cut with each tool so I spent some time only using each. Made many pens with a spindle gouge. Now I prefer finishing them off with a skew.

Yes to the spindle gouge, skew and even bowl gouges. Good skill building to see what you can make work.

Same, same. 2" Spindle gouge, then a skew.
