Checking in

Hi All,
Checking in from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Been turning pens about 2 years now, figure I'll get it right eventually.:C

I enjoy the turning, but lately I've been concentrating on woods with a history. I have now made pens from a major league baseball bat, a Jack Daniels whiskey barrel, the Atlantic City boardwalk, a tree that inspired a Robert Frost poem, and 3 shipwrecks including the Andrea Doria.
The hunt for the wood is as addicting as the penmaking.:2tsup:

Hope to make some new friends here and probably learn a bunch while I'm at it.

Hi Woodwrite, welcome aboard. I'm a woodturner, but not a penturner, maybe I try one sometimes after seeing a lot of pens.

Have fun.

G'day, WoodWrite. Welcome to the mob.

Interesting twist on the addiction, with historical references.

New friends and learning is a sure thing; maybe teach us a little too.

Hi Woodwrite...and welcome!

Very good use of historic wood:2tsup:

Lots of info and good folks on this forum.

Hi Woodwrite, nice to have you aboard, the more the merrier.
