Turner by nature.

Hi folks, I'm David Turner, I'm in my late 60's and residing on the picturesque North Wales coast.
Took up word turning as a hobby roughly 6 years ago although it's no longer a hobby but more of an addiction. My main passion is turning pens.

I'm going to try to attach an image of a couple of pens I've turned, if you see them great, if you don't then like I said I'm in my late 60s haha.
