I have been meaning to turn a Pentel Pencil for some time and this weekend I tried it out. They came out pretty good but I had several failed attempts. It seems that there is a critical adjustment in tightening the blank in the mandrel. Too loose and the blank spins free on the mandrel shaft and too tight and the tip crumbles when turned thin to near the final dimention. As always comments are welcome.
Cocobollo blank finished with CA/BLO
