This is my first Emperor and first attempt with Chola Cactus.

I'm pretty happy with the results, although somehow I lost track of alignment between the cap and body portions (don't know how I managed that, since I mark them) and couldn't get them aligned just right. Comments welcome!

Thanks everyone. I was envisioning a catch on a piece of acrylic and yanking it out of the hole before I ever started on this one. So I kept the skew good and sharp through the process and it went pretty smoothly. Finished with CA and is sure shines up nice!

That's one very nice looking pen. Can you take it apart and realign it?

I could, but I eyeballed as best I could before assembly. Can get several slots to line up, but just not all of them all the way around. Even thought I might have flipped one over, but couldn't get a match the other way either. So it is what it is at this point.
