Hi all.
Found this forum through a very disreputable friend of mine.
I've been lurking for a couple of days now, and thought it was time I said hello.
Though predominantly a bowl turner, I've been known to make the odd (sometimes very odd) pen.
I tend to stick to slimlines and streamlines, and only use self seasoned or reclaimed wood, so I'm probably a bit boring in comparison to some of the work on here. I'll hopefully get round to posting some stuff when allowed, and join in the fun!
Regards,
Neil

Hi Neil, welcome to the bag of frogs. Pens of any quality, wood or shape are welcome on this site, we just need pictures. Also pictures of anything else you fancy showing us.

Are you familiar with the ninth amendment :roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:

I consider myself fortunate to have met Walter a couple of times, :thumbs: though at his age I doubt he`d remember :oldman:

Welcome Neil! Any friend of Walter's can't be completely right in the head, so I'm sure you'll fit right in! Just watch out for StevenW - there's bonkers and there's just plain scary ...

I resemble that JimmyJams!!!! The wife is far far scarier than me.

Welcome Neil,

Have seen some of your work on one of the lesser inhabited forums I belive.

Welcome !

Please post some pics of your bowls, there's a few of us branching out from pens so we'd welcome them I'm sure.

Enjoy your stay and enjoy the banter !
