Club members donated donated 557 pens in 2024. Woodcraft donated 414 component kits and the club purchased another 60 kits with a $100 donation by a member, a former service member himself.  One member started in February, turning pens during the NYS Farm Show and then again during Maker Faire 2024.  Another member completed 100 pens by the end of May.  With no Woodcraft in the Syracuse area, our members generally turn the pens in their own shops.  However, we also turn pens as part of our demonstrations during the Manlius Historical Society's annual craft show and often receive monetary donations toward our efforts.  Photos of the pens are below.
