Brass Kitless

[trapper]

Hi all

I'm experimenting here with a few ideas I've tried a few resin kitles pens and have attempted a few aluminium ones now I'm set on doing a polished brass sedonna style rollerball has anyone got any experience of turning brass on a woodworking lathe I tried an offcut and managed a tenon using a cutter made from a modified metal file. I'd be grateful of any guidance here particularly regarding cutters as I'm thinking of making a handle/holder for a carbide turning tip from my dads old tool set thanks guys

I have done a few and it goes quite well on a wood lathe. The pens are heavy and will tarnish. These were done on a mandrel, before I started turning between centers.
