Named Les Elm AKA - rdabpenman. I retired form the Oil Patch after 30 years at age 55 in 2001 and live in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada.
I have been turning pens for 10 years and my specialty in make and sell Rifle Cartridge Pens in various calibers from .223 up to BMG 50 caliber.
Have done some bowl/ box turning along with Intarsia and scroll sawing.
