A Roman Harvest

[Whaler]

I bought some of these kits a couple months ago and got around to turning one today. After gluing in the tubes and getting ready to turn I discovered that I hadn't ordered any bushings so I turned it anyway. The blank is my favorite Tru-Stone, Banded Malachite.
I used my PenPro for the entire job and never touched the blank with sandpaper, just buffed on the Beale wheels after turning.

Dick, that's a beauty!
I like the Roman Harvest too! Especially now that they have fixed the centerband issue with a longer one.

Who needs them stupid ol' bushings anyway! Great job. It is very apparent that you have attained the skill of using your calipers. Congratulations on a beautiful pen. Now you can save the money you usually spend on bushings and buy more kits. WOW! What a deal!

Great work, did u use a 3/4 blank? because i was wondering if i could use my 3/4 trustone blanks on the roman harvest kit and it would still fit.

I used a 7/8" blank, the finished size of the cap is right at 5/8" so it's possible but risky to use a 3/4".

Beautiful pen Dick, I love Malachite Trustone, and I like the way Timberbits had the center coupler redesigned, it looks a lot better. Glad you like your Woodchuck Pen Pro.
