Morning, new to the pen game. Turned averagely successful bowl type projects for many years - turned one pen blank ten years ago and then tried to drill the hole afterwards (!) - but have now converted with the initial obsession which I'm sure many will recognise. Attached the first attempts.

We all started somewhere and that's 3 very nice pens to start with....well done. Always keep your first(or try too) as it will show how far you have come in a while when you look back:thumbs::thumbs:
