Came (a little late) to do my introduction.
hello everyone. late 40s, from central PA.
i turned pens YEARS ago, but have been "normal" for the last decade or more. in the last 6 months something has re-awoken the pen nerd in me and i started collecting pens again, until i remembered, i can actually make them instead of buying them, so i started pen turning again. i used to be a mostly exotic woods on pen kits guy with a couple deer antler pens here and there, but now im doing bespoke/kitless pens, acrylic, and custom pouring epoxy. i more or less joined up to steal everyones ideas for inspiration. i dont sell as a business. i make for myself and gifts.
