Well I just turned my first pen. I was really happy with it until I started to finish it and there was a bugger in the wood so I sanded it a bit more and went to look at it and it had torn out to the tube. The other piece turned out great. I was surprised at how thin the wood actually is on a 7mm slimline pen. The next time Ill make it fatter in the middle, although that will probably look like an hour glass. (these are from a starter set from Penn State. But hey anyway, I'm a penturner now for real, even if I suck.
