Twice now in the last day I've been reminded that maybe this pen turning thing is an obsession. Just now, when I looked at the air-brushed thread and immediately wanted to apply that technique to a pen was the second time.

Yesterday, I was doing an interview with 2 of my co-workers, for an open position we have in my department. Shortly after I joined the interview late, I noticed that the lady had a really nice pen in her hand. Her hands were kind of covering it up and I kept wishing she'd move her hands or hold it in a way that I could see it better. She finally did and I was able to recognize the blank- one I have but haven't tried yet. And I think I probably even know who made it. I'd met a lady who does turning at a show, and she made pens exactly like this as far as the kit and blank choices. I'm hoping my co-workers paid a little more attention than I did to what the person was saying during her interview. I can contribute that she has good taste in pens and apparently appreciates one of a kind turned pens!

Obsession? Nah... you sound perfectly normal to me.
I was discussing my review with my boss when I noticed her pen, a manufactured variety, but I liked the shape and size... I just had to handle it. That turned into a 20 minute discussion about pens and wood. Now she wants a short-style pen (a purse or 'fridge' kind of lenght)...

Nah, you're pretty normale by IAP standards... (what does that really say, tho?) [:eek:)] [:D] [:p] [:p] [:p] [:p]
 
Angela, I do the same thing! Everywhere I go, department store, grocery store, etc, I find myself inspecting their pen, flashing my pen and trying to follow the conversation too. Fanatically obsessidly normal!
 
Obsession? Naaaa....[}:)]. I was at Church the other day and could not keep my eyes off the church pews...I kept telling myself' "man I can sure get a lot of pens from that pew". Then I felt that sudden jab to the ribs' LOML caught me and said "I know exactly what you are thinking so STOP LOOKING"!
