Myrtle wood with live oak centerband

[Marc Phillips]

Tried turning the centerband at the same time as the pen except I used a couple of the worn out bushings inbetween the pen blanks and the centerband...

Marc When I turn a custom centerband I don't use bushings between them that way they always come out flush and you can make them any diameter you want because they are just matching eachother not a stock centerband.

I like the wood combinations, and the shape of the upper barrel I think you should try that same shape on the lower barrel too

Thats different Mark! l like your finish.[]

Nice work Mark. I think it would look better if the upper and lower barrels matched. Let me stress that I am not criticizing, just giving my opinion.

It looks sort of like a macrame bead stuck in the middle [][)].
