for all the help and tips by the board members. This is sure a great resource.
Cocobolo, Woodcraft slim line kit, Mylands friction polish.
Wasn't hard at all, but I did get the two Kip and Rex videos and they were really good in showing exactly what to do when. I would have to recommend those two videos to anyone contemplating pen turning.
Comments welcome, as always.
Sorry for the sorry color, best I could do here at the computer with bad lighting.
Thanks again.
Rich

Years ago, I wanted to learn how to shoot a handgun, so I did an internet search and came up with IPSC/USPSA shooting. I called the match director, got directions, showed up at the match, and watched the first competitor shoot the stage. The match director asked me what I thought. I told him: I'm already hooked and I haven't even shot yet!!
Pens are really fun. They don't take long, which satisfies my "instant gratification" gene. Really cool.
Yes, Mr. Fried, I'm hooked.............
Hope I don't have to sell any guns...........

Great job Richard. cocobolo looks real nice.
And sell pens to buy guns, not the other way around....... I shot IPSC for a year, made it to "C", the the youngest was born.......
