Wood 111: Wooden Pen

Learn to turn a beautiful, custom-made pen to serve as a gift, or an heirloom-quality writing instrument for your home. Turned pens are a great way to build fundamental woodturning skills that transfer to other aspects of the craft. Each attendee will make their own custom wooden pen and take it home with them at the end of the class. The cost of the course covers all materials, plus professional instruction and access to the needed tools at the shop.

A custom made wooden writing instrument

What to Bring/Wear

Closed-toed shoes. Long sleeves and hair will need to be pulled back.
