I consider this a gloat.

Jennifer is 12 and is always bugging me to do stuff out in the garage. She loves to chop mortises.

However, yesterday she wanted to turn a pen. so, with some coaxing and pleading with me, I relented.

Very fine. Congrats to both of you.
BTW, it looks like that was the first time that lathe had ever been used.

Frank, I purchased this lathe late Sept when Woodcraft had their big sale.

I have turned some pens, but haven't done much with bowls yet. I gave my son Nicholas a Cigar Pen made from 150 yr old white oak for his birthday two weeks ago.

The kids at school can't/don't believe his dad made that pen.

Jennifer, says she is ready to make another one.
