Once I made the separate parts I assembled the pen then turned the pen as a whole between centres. From 19.5mm down to 15 with a skew, then sanded the last half mm.
Always liked the look of the Jr retro finial so tried to emulate it here....pleased with the result. Not sure about the section shape. I was trying to mirror the shape of the end of the barrel. Will probably make a new section when my tap for #6 feeds arrives.
C&C's welcome.

This was taken with my phone. Wish I'd taken one when it was 19.5mm thick...it looked like a christmas cracker on the lathe!
