To Everything, Turn…Turn…Turn

I turned this pen from Tulipwood.  There are pinks and yellows in the wood and it was quite nice to turn.  I assume though that it had something to do with sharp tools though.  I will definitely try this wood again.

So far I have only purchased Round-Top European Pen kits from Lee Valley.  Turning is an expensive hobby so far.  All of the Lathe accessories are finely machined items and as a result, fetch a hefty price.  Oh well, I hope to start selling pens and such to feed my habit.
