a few days ago I have seen on this forum I guess, a pen turned from a piece of corn. I cannot remember where it is And I would love to be able to go back to it.

Fortunately corn is available every where and I found It was really nice looking.

Thanks in advance

I posted a picture of one that I made a few months ago on here, but I cannot find it. Could it be archived?

ozwinner, Ruffy, Gatiep,

Many thanks to each of you! You are great. It is far more than I expected and, thanks to you, I will be able to enjoy all the pleasures (and difficulties as well) of turning a corn pen. Thanks to the links you provided me I have all the instructions, pitfalls and finishing advices.

Many thanks again.
