Advanced Woodturning - Pen Making

This class covers making a Cross-style pen on the wood lathe:

• Pen blanks - prepping, drilling, mounting inner tube, sanding 
• Mounting the blanks on the pen mandrel
• Turning and finishing the wood
• Assembling the pen

Each student will start with a chunk of wood and walk away with a finished, working pen.  We have many wood species available, so each pen should be unique.

Ticket price includes all materials - mainly the wood blank and a pen making kit.

Please meet in the wood shop area by class start time.

The class is limited to 6 total students to allow time for everyone to complete their pen. 

1. Wear a short sleeve shirt.  No ties, necklaces, or other dangly things that could get caught in a spinning lathe.
2. The Basic Woodturning class is a pre-requisite for this class.
