    so here i am posting my first message, i think. i have been reviewing things on this site for years. your pen is a wonderful first step. if you are like me, you only hope to create things people you know now will appreciate. if you and i are lucky, people we will never know will appreciate them. well done!!

    Brian, see, here is where doing all those call strikers has gotten you!! You have been sucked into the pen vortex and we will never see another turkey call!!!

    Nice job!!

    Eric, good to have you posting. Lurking is good, posting is better, and posting pics of turnings is the ultimate!!

    Watch out for the Vortex

    You probably are hearing a slight roar in your ears about now. That's the sound of the turning vortex. You might want to watch your self because if you get too close your caught up in it and you don't get away.
