A customer introduced me to this site when buying some blanks from us. I live in Burnie Tasmania Australia and run a craft wood business.
I tried turning a few years ago however had little time. My wife is interested in turning jewellery and I may have a go at turning pens as we can utilise the same lathe.
Inquiries regarding Australian and particularly Tasmanian timbers welcome.

Welcome Michael! Glad to have you here. Love the huon pine from there! Hope you can get some pen turning time. In case you do, below are some links to some threads/articles that have lots of information on pen turning. The first one is a very basic overview of the many aspects of getting into turning pens.

The second link has postings by different pen turners and what they wish they had known earlier:

Here is another link - a PDF on the acronyms used here. I am sure you know many but this will help with those you don't.
