Hey: I am not a turner but love the work you guys do-have my heart set on one soon! Went to the Fairhope, Alabama Arts and Crafts show today. It is one of the largesst in this part of the world(Other side of the bay from Mobile, AL) and was disappointed that there was no pencrafter there. One booth had six pens, all slimline and I think BP's. I had hoped to buy one. Not that I really NEED another pen, but wanted to show some support. In the past there were usually three at least? Is it the economy? Is it the availability over the net? Is it that people won't buy? Don't have a clue but I hope it is not a trend. Meanwhile, keep turning so I can keep dreaming. Tberry
