A little know side effect of arthritis is a condition called iritis or inflammation of the iris of the eye. This is going to be my second bout of it in the past 10 years and it is something I would not wish on anyone. It is painful and the treatment is almost as bad as the disease. I have to have my eyes dilated for a full week which means I am a prisoner in my home. I have the screen brightness turned down on the computer, but even the light of the TV can be painful. So sitting at home being bored out of my mind, I decided to see if I could do a little pen turning. I opened the garage door a crack for light and turned on a small lamp on the other end and got to cranking.
On an unrelated note, my niece is graduating from CSU Fresno today (Go Dogs!!!) so of course, my turning was a pen for her. When her younger sister graduated high school, I made her a set of pens from wood my dad had left from his woodworking days. So she made me promise to make her a pen also from Grandpa's wood. This is a Sedona made from Oak, Purple heart, Maple, and Bubinga.
