Hi. My name is Shawn Tackaberry. By day, I’m a computer network analyst. By night, I turn things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been working with wood for many years, ever since I built my first night table in high school. Mostly, I’ve build cabinets and other small projects. Several years ago I’ve discovered pen making. I ran out and bought a lathe and several specialized pen making tools and turned my first pen. A slimline Mahogany. I stood back and marveled at what I had created. It was a work of art. A testament to centuries of innovation and beauty. It was a weapon that created documents of war. It was a lover that created sonnets and poems. It was \u2026\u2026. a pen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ok, it wasn’t that exciting and I did mess up the finish but hey, I was still pretty happy with it. Since that historic moment, I have turned many more pens. Now that I have learned how to finish them properly, I have made different styles from not only many exotic woods, but also acrylics and even deer antler. It’s been more than just a hobby of making pens, it’s been an education in woods, acrylics and even photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only do I turn pens but since my Oneway 2436 acquisition I have stepped up to bowls, hollow forms, platters, goblets and other round things. Check out my gallery <\/a>for a small selection of my projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for coming by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
