An Interesting Pen Jason.
Attractive Blank, Nicely Finished.
You have had the First Pen Jitters, where you were Hesitant to turn the Blank to the Diameter of the Bushes at the Nib and Clip end of the Pen.
The Bushes available for each Style of Pen have the correct Diameter for the Nose Cone and Clip end Diameter, so if you turn to a fraction larger than the Bushes, you can then Sand the Blank to the Bush Diameter, or a fraction more, depending what you are going to use for the Finish.
If you are going to use CA Glue then each coat will build up the Diameter to compensate for the amount you have Over Turned.
I suggest that you keep this Pen, and use it as a Reference and Gauge over the Coming Weeks, Months and Years, to monitor your Progress.
I look forward to seeing more of your Pens shortly,
Congratulations,
Brian.

Pen Kit
I'm pretty sure that kit is the CEO pen from Pennstate, not the original Wall St from Woodcraft.
