I am curious to know what tools are your favourites when turning pen blanks. When I started my first pen the other day I was using a spindle gouge to turn the blanks to size but today I switched to using the skew chisel.
Since I started turning a year ago I have mostly turned bowls using a bowl gouge and various scrapers so it was good practice to use a spindle gouge and a skew. I think the skew will become my favourite as it gives such a clean cut with little sanding required.
The one thing about pen turning it does give one good practice in spindle turning.
