Hi

I have been turning and making pens on and off for a number of years but work got in the way a lot of the time. Now retired I am able to spend more time at the lathe. I love making new blanks and find lots of inspiration on YouTube. I have just glued up a denim blank made with offcuts of old jeans sandwiched in a wood blank. Hopefully if my technical ability allows I'll post a photograph when I actually make the pen.

Best wishes
Ian

Hi Ian, welcome to the forum. Denim in a pen blank is certainly a new one on me. Look forward to seeing the end result.
