Scallop on a Trimline?

[bwp]

Greetings,
Has anyone had success with a scallop segment on a Trimline pen?
Most of the examples shown are in more bigger Cigar or Jr Gent pens. This make sense since there's more material to work with. However,
I really like the trimline because of its low cost, ease to make, but they also don't weigh much less which makes them an option for women who don't want a big hefty pen.
Any tips or successes would be most appreciated.

I would suggest that you loose the center band, now you can make your pen slightly larger. Either use no band at all or use a larger center band from another kit. Jim S

Thanks for this tip. I have a Scalloped Trimline but its still a work in progress. But I made this one with the bushings from a Chicago/Manhattan.

Yaaaay -- the ever versatile Trimline. They're great once you graduate from the supplied center band the sky's the limit on creativity.
