Every year our local woodturning club (Smoky Mountain Woodturners - SMWTS.ORG) turns pens that the local Woodcraft store sends to the troops overseas. Last year we turned over 400 pens. Normally the Woodcraft store supplies the pen kits, but this year I got an early start (with time on my hands) and began turning pens using spare kits in my 'archives'. I decided to use one of my recent acquisitions, a CNC laser burner to do some advertising for our club. It's amazing how crisp a line a focused laser can cut. Wood is mahogany.
