Saturday, March 16th brought another of the famous Barb's Barn workshops |
The barn was ready for the group to setup |
Barb says her organizational skills are better than her turning skills |
Some of the folks and lathes arrive and start setting up |

The workshop was taught by Turners 2 member, Rich Sarama |
Rich's goal was to teach the beginners basic pen turning |
Rich brought some samples of different styles and materials |
Like most of the hands on workshops, lathes and space limits class size to 10 to 12 turners |

Rich had provided a step by step handout and walked everyone through it explaining the reasons |
Examples of the same wood, cut and drilled at different angles for different effect |
Rich explains his method for marking the blank to allow for keeping the grain match |
Part of the explanation of mandrels, the care and use is key to a quality pen |
