[reef12]

Well my First pen done two more sets of blanks turned.

PSI Kit.

So replacement refills are ????

Looks very very nice! What kind of wood is that made of? If I had to guess I would say rosewood.

What about the finish?

I am not sure if your asking about the style of refill it would use - if so its a Cross Refill [:I]

It's a good start!

Looks like you off to a good start. One suggestion, for the 7mm kits look for kits with raised center bands. They look and feel better.

Jeff,
This site has the best prices for slimline pens & they also have flat or raisd center bands.

Jeff well done!![]

Nice job, and to mirror the beaded centerband, they not only look better, but they hide a LOT if the fit is not 100% perfect.

I second EMT's comments!

Thanks Folks will look for those large center bands right now.[]

Was thinking of not coming down to bushing so much and leaving a little wood But still a NOOB at it.

So on comfort pens don't have to use the Rubber deal correct??

Thanks

yep you are right.

I turned this pen using the comfort pen bushings but used the slim pen bushings for the tip of the pen.
