Hi, I am Ben, a high school sophomore, living in central Virginia. I started turning pens in my 7th grade shop class and discovered I really enjoyed it! It’s a lot of fun working with the wood and turning it into something really cool. At first, I worked with basic hardwoods, but I like turning figured woods, exotics, burls, acrylics, and sometimes circuit boards.
I make slim line pens and wall street pens, but can also do other styles. I like the challenge of creating a unique style when specially asked by the customer. When I’m not turning pens on my lathe, I like playing soccer and watching sports games on TV.
