When I made my initial order from Arizona Silhouette for a bunch of pens and supplies, I also picked up 5 of the perfume pen kits and bushings. I figured what the heck. Another item to learn how to turn. So today I finally gave them a whirl. The first one turned out pretty poor, but funtional looking kind of like a bowling pen out of orange osage wood. I found that you had to have the blanks cut square and flush with the tubes and not leave any indentation from the barrel trimmer. What I didn't like about the kits is that it uses 2 blanks with the long body one at about 3" and the short cap one at 1".So I cut the long tube down about 3/4" and then slid that tube into the cap piece. I then cut both of those blanks on my miter saw so that everything was square and flush.
So has anyone else done some of these perfume pens? If so, how do you like them as gifts or to sell? If you have also done the perfume atomiser, do you have a preference? With my wife being a teacher with most of her collegues being female, this is could be a good thing to do for them.
