Just wanted to say hello. My name is Derrick, I am a rookie to pen turning, and would consider myself to be an advanced rookie to turning in general. I started out turning turkey calls & strikers, then eventually moved on to other "barrell" styled calls such as crow, squirell, and deer calls. Eventually it was time to try something new so I started making a couple of small bowls here & there. Making pens was something that I started getting interested in but would always say "Yeah, I'll get around to it some day." Well that day finally came the weekend before mothers day, when my local woodcraft store was having pen turning demos where you pay for the materials and the guys in the store assisted you in making a pen. Since then I have only made one pen, but I do have the bug now, I did stop at woodcraft on my way home tonight, and I am heading out to the shed here shortlyto make some more.
