Today I did my first TBC pen. A G Series. Used my lathe for everything -- drilled the hole, trimmed the barrell, turned the pen with a benjamin's best 1/2 "Versa-Chisel using John Gooden's bushings & Dead Center. I finished the pen using sandpaper to 600 grit then Micro-mesh wet to 12000 grit and 5 coats of shellawax. Didn't come out bad at all.
