Hi, I'm retired now in Townsend, TN. I started turning pens about a month ago and have done about 30. I plan to attend the local club in Knoxville but was not able to make the meeting this month so hopefully next month. I'm taking a pen course at the Folk School in Brasstown, NC next week an a bowl course at Woodcraft in Knoxville the next week so hope to start leaning more. This seems addicting. I'm also a photographer so plan to mix the two.
 
Howdy! and welcome from Texas.
I just learnt how to spell that "R" word--something to look forward to.....but I like my job a great deal so it may be awhile yet.
