This is my first rollerball, a black titanium Jr. Gent II I got from Ed at Exotics. The wood is honduras rosewood.
I have worked hard on my CA finishing process and have finally got to a result I am really happy with. The finish is really nice.
I do think it's time for a new lathe though. I have been turning on a Harbor Freight clone of a Jet mini and it has been great up untill now. I'm trying to get to the levels of many members here and this lathe just isnt capable. If you look at the nib end of the pen barrel you can clearly see the run out my lathe produces. This is not acceptable and I cant seem to make it go away no matter what I do.
