This looked pretty good until I took it off of the lathe. When I removed the bushings the CA pulled loose and turned white on the ends.
I wish I would have seen Its Virgils pen before I started and I would have used disks. I cut strips of leather and epoxied them together. I had to stop quite often while turning to put some thin CA on the surface because the leather kept wanting to separate.
When I was just about done turning the lower barrel a couple layers of leather broke off and I had to dig through my dust collector to find them and glue them back on.
