Topic tags/keywords: lubbock turning pens I am in lubbock and a while back i traded some hard wood pieces for a pen, and that person no longer has the same email address….. so i am looking for another local that wouldn’t mind trading some material for a pen, or maybe sell me a few pens. (im a bigger guy with big hands and like the larger pens.) i am not a turner… so i don’t know anything about that stuff haha. any help would be appreciated. -- David Henley |

I am also in Lubbock. I am the president of Lubbock Woodworkers Club and know of no pen turners in our club but there is a “Turners Club” here in Lubbock and I bet there are guys in that group that would be interested. When I lived in Maryland I met a pen turner on linefrom Indiana and sent him a bunch of hardwood blanks and he sent me two pens in return. Wood blanks and pens are small enough to send cheaply so you do not have to be limited to working with turners in Lubbock. -- Website is https://craftingcouple.com/ |

here is a picture of a pen that i have. (the one i am calling a european style. which i don’t know if that is correct or not) also, here is a piece of walnut that was cut off a slab that i had. is it possible to be turned into a pen? (what your seeing is the end grain in the picture and i though it looked sweet. -- David Henley |

Yes the pen you have is a European style…. Looks like it could be skeet burl but the pic is pretty grainy…. That piece of walnut you have what’s the dimensions? Typically I don’t make the euro style, but a cigar would be good for you if you like a heavier/thicker pen. My Facebook page below will show some of the pens I make, just be warned the pics don’t do them any justice :) -- Michael, www.facebook.com/flatlandersww |
