Thank you for the comment about the wood. Do you think the wood looks better than the aluminum? It would not take much to convince me to use wood as it is easier than the aluminum. I used 1/2 inch aluminum and as you might guess, the drill had to travel in a perfect and center line. I had pretty good luck in that regard.

Didn't. Johnny suggested to use raw cork but that would not work and would get dirty too fast. I used one or two coats of BLO/CA and then three coats of CA. I then polished the finish but had to be careful not to take the thin coats off.
Thank you for asking.

How did you turn the cork and not loose the print on the cork?

Pretty neat John!!

I see you drilled a big hole in the cork. So what did you use to make the pen kit to fit with that big hole.
