​Bio
Don has always enjoyed woodworking and developed an interest in woodturning in 1998. Having always loved pens, especially older fountain pens, Don was quite excited in 2000 when he discovered that he could make pens on his wood lathe. Don turned his first pen and was hooked. He has studied, learned, grown and developed, not only in his turning, but also in his pen making. Don has become an accomplished pen maker and continues to foster his creativity and artwork through unique, beautiful, and functional works of art.
Don Ward is a member of the American Association of Wood Turners and the International Association of Penturners. Don is the president of the Wichita Falls Wood Turners and has been accepted into the Pen Maker's Guild.
Don has demonstrated at SWAT, The Utah Woodturning Symposium, TurnOn! Chicago, The Desert Woodturning Round-Up, The Oregon Woodturning Symposium and several woodturning clubs. Don taught classes at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts in 2015, 2017, and 2019. Don wrote a monthly column, The Penturner’s Corner, for More Woodturning Magazine from December of 2006 until the magazine stopped publication in April of 2020. He has one book published: Turning Modified Slimline Pens: Beyond the Basics.
