Finish looks very good. More shine than a lot of CA-BLO finishes. Mine were always very dull and drab looking. Didn't care for mine.

You'll want to work on your consistency in diameter. You've got two humps in the upper barrel, not sure if they're intentional or not but you may find that using a sanding block the width of the blank half can help you straighten it out until you can do it using only tools. Your nib end is also a little underturned. Being that you probably hit your bushing like you're supposed to, then you may have some CA buildup on your bushing or could be using a bad bushing/kit match. Some manufacturers of each mesh well, some are slightly off.
