This is my first attempt at turning a pen on my new lathe. It's turned from a Brazilian Cherry blank supplied by Kathy Marshall, along with the kit. The blank was already drilled with the tubes glued in, which was awesome! Thank you Kathy! I had a ton of fun turning it. This is definitely the first of MANY.
Thanks everyone! I've been really interested in turning pens for a long time, and it was even more fun than I imagined. I can't wait to make a lot more of these!
Hi Mike! It sure is fun making something that you can actually USE right after you take it off the lathe isn't it? I never thought I'd make pens till I decided they would make good Christmas presents (40 of them). Man, am I hooked. I bet you'll love this more and more. There are so many possibilities out there. Have fun!
