Here is a pen I just made. It's one of those, too nice to keep to bad to sell kinda pens.

If you post the cap the pen is so top heavy it trys to fall out of my hand.

I ordered a fountain pen, rollerball and ballpoint kit. If you get the ballpoint you need different bushings for the lower tube. That baffled me for about a week until i read the instructions. Duh!

I dont like the way the pen looks or feels, but that is my personal opinion and worth what you paid for it.

The sleeves are dyed BEB color red. The color is so poor it looks like someone scribbled on it with a red magic marker before they finished it.

Oh well...

The photos aren't so good. Im redoing my photo box and it's in between.

You made a good job on the pen, the BEB is sometimes like that (you don`t know what you are getting until it is turned down to the finished diameter), looks OK to me.

I like the way the pen looks other than the color. You can touch up the color by putting it back on the lathe, removing the finish and rubbing it down with RIT clothes dye, and then refinishing it once the dye dries. I have done this on several predyed blanks and have had good results.
