Manzanita + Boredom = Something to do with all those extra center bands?

[MatthewZS]

I was bored, the wood called my name

Very nice!

 

[Rfturner]

nice It is fun to experiment with kits before you know it you will be cannabalizing several kits just to make one pen

 

[MatthewZS]

My goal is to one day make a pen entirely out of slimline centerbands

 

[Drstrangefart]

I wish I woulda got to do double centerbands. I was gonna, but my dad busted out a really tall center band and I had to go with that instead. Blagh!!

I have 2 Manzanita pens and CA finish ghosts. What did you use as a finish.

 

[MatthewZS]

CA BLO, tho I normally MM afterwards, but mine is abut worn out so I think once I purchase new this pen is going back on the lathe for one last finishing step.

 

[Jgrden]

[MatthewZS]

It called me a chicken who wouldn't DARE pick up that gouge!
