Newbie to Woodturning.

[johnny5]

Just like to say hello from a newbie.
Bought an Axminster AWSL in March and Started turning pens and wine bottle stoppers.
Over 150 pens later !!!!!!!!!!!!
I have now been bitten by the bug and have upgraded to a Record CL3 and cant wait to get turning bigger and better things.
Hope to get tips and advice galore from you all.
regards
John

Hi

Especially the antler pens. I have just acquired four red deer antlers 2 feet long, five points, and before I cut then up for dog chews I'd like to see what pen or whatever blanks I can make out of them.
