    Thank you, Dennis

    I just wanted to thank Dennis Kranz. After I posted about getting my lathe and wanting to learn how to turn pens, Dennis made a very nice offer to help. So last Sunday I went to his house and after some instructions including safety stuff, Dennis walked me through my first turnings.

    Sorry for the poor quality pictures (someday I will take the time to learn proper photography, hopefully before the grandkids start showing up )
    Anyway, the bottle stopper was from a Mesquite branch Dennis picked up in his yard and the pen is a slimline from Woodcraft made out of a scrap of African Mahogeny, I had left over from some cutting boards I made years ago.
    Thanks again Dennis. I had a great time and got the confidence to try this on my own lathe.

    Lori - always great to hear when Creekers can get together - especially when you get to turn together!

    Nice work on both items! Really like the pen!

    Looking forward to seeing more of your work real soon!

    Good looking pen and stopper. Always nice to get some hands on.

    Lori...You just can't beat having someone show you how to do something first hand. Those turnings look pretty darn good!

    Nice work. It's always good to hear when one addict helps to get someone else hooked.
