i can see why pen turning is so addictive that was alot of fun i need to find less expensive places to get the kits though

oh and by the way that is josh's faithful dog rascal

[Nancy Laird]

Very pretty, Cory. PM me and I'll give you some directions for the kits.

Hey Cory nice pen. Oh and good looking dog to. Try Woodturningz.com for pens. About the cheapest you will find.

[Frank Fusco]

Also try beartoothwood dot com for good prices.
Nice slimline. For whatever reason almost all first slims have that bulbous treatment at the end. We all do/did it.
For variations with the Slimline, try not using the centerband.
BTW, it is a cheaper form of turning if you can sell the pens. But just continually buying kits and filling boxes with pens isn't so reasonable. Especially when you get into larger pens with kits running from $15.00 to $50.00.

Nice job Corey. My kids all want to turn pens and bowls, so the new Rikon will get plenty of use when it gets here. I suspect there will be a lot of happy grandma's and grandpa's on Christmas morning! Let me know the result of your supply search-no sense two of us going through all that shopping;) .

woodturningz.com is a great place to get pen parts.Ryan is a great guy to work with and they all turn pens so if you need help with a style they can help.

Nice job Cory! You made some nice whooptydoos ( technical term) on the pen as well. I second Ryan at Woodturningz for your PSI kits and goods, good folks to work with! Ernie at Beartooth woods gets my vote for Berea stuff as well. Their blanks are great as well.

Good start there Cory. Keep'em coming.
