Hi Billy, thanks. The supplier I got the kit from calls it a "pen 2" I'm sure it has a name but would need to find out.Nice looking pen! That wood looks good. What type of pen kit is this?
I rough turned a 1"sq spindle blank 6" long, and zapped it in 10-15 second bursts with a cup of water in the microwave, remove allow to cool and weigh with gram scales until it didnt lose any more weight, then finish turned.So how long did you microwave it? Before you cut it or after you cut to size.
