First turned centerband
First CA/BLO finish
First disassembled pen.
I'm basically a b2b guy, so I thought I would try something different. I wanted to add a little width to a slimline and I thought turning my own centerband would help in doing that. Also thought I would try CA as a finish as I have been basically a lacquer guy.
As you can see it didn't turn out all that well. Might be hard to see, but there are tiny gaps between the centerband and the rest of the pen. Any secrets on getting a tight fit here?
I also had some trouble with the finish. The blanks stuck to the bushings when I was finished (I have since learned to use wax paper between the bushings and the blank.
Any critique or advice would be greatly appreciated.
