I turned these Antler Pens this past w/e.
One is a Slimline, the other two are PSI, MontBlanc (Euro kits). The pen with the blackwood insert was a serious slavage. When I assembled the original (Antler only) pen the lower barrel had been ground too short by about 1/8". The pen tip would protrude in the closed position, and was therefore undeliverable to customer.
Sooo... I found some smaller brass tubing at a hobby shop. CUT the finished lower half, glued in the tube and blackwood insert. Back to the lathe. cut shaped and refinished. VOILA! One salvaged pen.
All were finished with CA, MM 12000 & TSW.
Sorry about the lousy photo's I'm still experimenting.
