Lots of disasters between my last pen and this one, including one that I ran out of matching blanks for. This one took multiple tries to get it right. My main problem was keeping the workpiece true and centered. Turns out I was moving things around in the collet too much. Lesson learned! I've included a pic of the tragedies -- 2 section attempts, one barrel attempt, all off-center. Comments welcome, as always!
