Secretary of the guild Ashley Taylor has been wood turning since he retired from a career as a teacher, and makes items like this pen turned from macadamia wood.  He says it is an addictive hobby.  &quot;Initially it was just as an adjunct to making furniture but it has taken over,&quot; he said.  &quot;There is always a challenge with different kinds of woods, so the interest has been kept going, as there is just so much that you can do.&quot;
