Turning Pens book recommendation.

This Turning Pens and Pencils book is a complement to the DVDs done by the same two Authors REX BURNINGHAM, KIP CHRISTENSEN. The book shows details of all the steps in making pens and pencils. I really like the DVD that compliments this book.

A good guide book for getting started.

Turning Pens is not a super difficult thing to make on the lathe. I can do it so I am sure you can too. When getting started we all need a few tips, or if we are an old pro it's always a good idea to read up on something new. This is a great book authored buy two guy who can really turn. I have watched both of their videos and read this book. They biggest benefit to their book is the ability to take the simple and inexpensive slimline kit and turn it into may different styles of pens. This saves some and really helps with the creativity of this hobby.


So I recommend this book be part of you "Wood Turning Library"
