I have been turning wood for fourteen odd years and recently tried turning pens and enjoyed the experience as they are now an addition to my sales outlet.
I sold four in the first month and another five in the following months.
A customer was very happy with the "Bump" just above the ball point as it prevented her fingers sliding too far on the highly polished end.
I currently have six for sale in the craft shop which now gives me time to turn other items to stock.
