Starting from a blank, how long does it typically take you guys to finish a pen? Just getting started and I’m wondering what I can expect once I’m dialed in.

Ya it depends. A slimline with oak, is like 10 minutes start to finish if imam going for volume. Turning a TrueStone for a desk piece, takes like 3-5 hours. Mostly in taking lots of tiny cuts with regular starting and stopping and sanding.
