They all look great. Nice photos also. Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing.
I use micro mesh up to 12,000 on the last round of sanding and then beal buffing tripoli and white diamond polish. Then Mylands finish.

Great collection of Pens and Carpet, Loic.
Excellent Fit, Finish, and photographs.
A Benefit of turning pens as compared to Baking, with Pens you can get to sleep in.
Keep up the Great Work.
Brian.

Very nice pens! Go on up through the micromesh grades as Tom suggested. If you aren't doing it already, be sure and stop the lathe between each grit and sand longways as you slowly rotate the blank by hand. This really helps improve the final results.
