博客來Pen turning is a relatively easy and inexpensive hobby that doesn’t require a lot of expensive tools or take a long time to produce satisfying results. Pen Turning: A Foundation Course is the ideal guide for those keen to learn the art of creating pens and is also suitable for existing turners looking to develop their skills. Written by well-known pen turners Kip Christensen and Rex Burningham, this book explores two different pen styles: slimline pens and single-barrel pens. Different material options are also described, including stabilized burl, exotic hardwoods and antler, as well as plastics.
All the basic techniques and information needed for turning pens are fully explained, from blank preparation to turning, gluing, decorating, sanding and assembling.
