I have been happily turning wood since my last post a month ago. A couple of weeks ago, I had a table in my friend Gail's booth at WEFF to sell my sock blanks. I took some of my wood items almost as an afterthought. And sold enough of them to make it worth having gone, but not enough to make me quit my day job. It was pretty thrilling to have the things I have so enjoyed making be appreciated.
Took the pen class at Rockler, learned some new techniques, and had a ball. Same students and teacher that were in the first class and it's a very congenial group. Came home with a handful of beautiful pens.
Rather than writing more about this last month, I will let photos tell the story.
