I ordered a hand full of the Father Sing pen kits and a set of bushings a couple of weeks ago to try out. The kit and bushings came from the exact same source and sold together. Tonight I got a chance to turn a blank down and assemble my first kit of this style. I found about a hog's hair thickness of wood above the center band and pen tip and the cap. I know I had that blank dead flat to the bushing surface and the transition should have been smoother than glass. Looks like perhaps bad bushings for this style.
My question is, what can I do to smooth the transition out for the rest of the kits. I know you cannot turn below the bushing or you face a real mess for sure. There must be something simple I can do to compensate for this little lip of wood.
Any ideas?
