Pen turning is awesome! Rockler did a good job getting people introduced to this stuff. What a deal, for five bucks you can turn your own pen (up 'til Mother's Day). Buying a normal good pen is more than five bucks already. The instructor was also really helpful (and hawt). It took me over an hour to finish my pen. It was fun. I probably ate/snorted a lot of wood. Now I don't know if I can bear to give it up to my mom...maybe I'll hang onto it til her birthday, haha.
