About

This class has been canceled.

Make a stunning wooden pen in this class, which is open to those who already have some pen turning/wood turning experience.

You will learn safe use of a lathe and carbide tools and put those concepts to use as you make your pen. You will also use a drill press to prepare your turning blanks.

You will work with pen blanks such as koa, burled or spalted wood, or stabilized wood. You will learn advanced finishing techniques, resulting in a pen of a quality that can retail for $85 or more.

Details:
  • Prerequisites: Must have taken Orientation to the Woodshop, Woodshop Tool Safety Checkout 1 and Woodshop Tool Safety Checkout 2 before registering for this class.  Students need to have taken the Intro to Pen Turning class or have other wood lathe turning experience.
  • An additional fee of $41 to cover materials will be collected online when you register and pay.  Students will receive two pen kits and pen blanks.
Instructor: Oscar Barbo has been a woodworker and turner for more than 30 years. Oscar is well traveled, learning his turning in Hawaii, where he relished making pens from the local Koa wood. He often uses rare woods and non-wood materials like bone and antler. He is looking to share his skills while promoting pen design.
