Well, this is my first TBC pen. I'm much more satisfied with the finished result from TBC than turning with a mandrel. This pen is made from Black Walnut (that I bought from Forgotten Woods....The Starbucks of wood turning, but I love that place.), put on a Jr. Gent black titanium kit. This is my first Jr. Gent, too. The pen was sanded from 150-600, BLO/CA finish, MM-12000, HUT plastic polish, and then a little bit more BLO just for kicks.
On a side note, I may be going crazy, but in the second picture, it looks like the longer barrel has tons of random ridges on it, but in real life, it's completely smooth.
