Great book for me. I am brand new to this craft and the information in this book is invaluable. This book is worth every penny. I would not have any idea how to even start without the information included here.

Pen turning seems like something I would like to learn and so I am eager to find out as much about the subject as possible. This book has got me raring to go. I cannot wait to get started. Every page is chock full of information in an easily digestable form. I have read this reference several times already and I anticipate that I will continue to refer to it for sometime to come

I really enjoyed this book. I found some interesting ideas for pen designs and found out some things about turning I didn't know. After attending a local pen turning class and reading this book, my finished pens take less time to complete and I produce a much, much better product. Thom Phelps
