Turning a Pen
By Curtis Turner
Round Rock, TX
I think pen turning is the perfect introduction to the craft of woodturning. The project is well-defined, usually includes a set of instructions and requires only a simple set of tools - a lathe, a pen blank, and kit is all that is required to complete a first pen turning project. But be warned -- pen turning is only an appetizer and may well lead to you getting hooked on woodturning!
