Hands-On Workshop

This class will cover the fundamentals of making pens, a fun and non-threatening way to become acquainted with turning. Frank will discuss wood species, pen styles, various stock preparation methods, tool selection and, of course, basic lathe safety. You will practice pen turning techniques on wood scraps, then move on to exotic woods for your finished product. You will go home with one or two completed pens and the skills to produce any number of small turned objects. All tools & materials will be provided.

Recommended reading: Pens from the Wood Lathe by Dick Sing (catalog number 201609).

This class is considered suitable for teens who are at least 13 years of age. A parent or legal guardian must be present if a minor is to participate in the class.
