Terry, I don't know which is better: your generosity, your craftsmanship or your patriotic spirit. They're all over the top. Thanks for the inspirational post.

Terry, these are very nice pens. I am Chair of a program run by the San Diego Woodturners called "Turn Around for Vets" The program is conducted at Naval Medical Center, San Diego, the VA Aspire Care Center, San Diego and US Marine Base, Camp Pendleton (Wounded Warrior Battalion), and is oriented on teaching our wounded vets woodturning as a form of mental and phsyical therapy. All equipment and supplies are provided free of charge to our vets and is supported largely through donations from the public (we are a 501c3). Instruction is provided by our Club members and we teach about 50 vets a week at the three locations (we have 20 lathes positioned at the above sites. We introduce our vets to woodturning by turning pens, mainly using Slimline kits. After they have developed sufficient skills we move them on to bowls, stoppers, small boxes, etc.

I was attracted to your pens because of the designs. Are they acrylic or other material or something you made? I would like to purchase some blanks so would appreciate your source, if you would share it with me.

Many thanks,

Tom Lightner

Thank you Tom. The blanks are 100% wood. They can be purchased here. http://www.exoticblanks.com/Terry-s-Segmented-Serpentine-Blanks/ The center bands are also items I make for my use. They allow me to use the slim line kits to create a "custom" pen.
