This one was made from a bubinga blank that blew up on the lathe, so already had the brass tube glued in. I cut it down with a parting tool, then cut the brass with a razor saw (Exacta hobby saw) and sanded it flat. Do you make them with the tube in, or just drill a mandrill-sized hole in the wood and go from there? I am guessing that the tube makes it stronger. Also, I glued the ring to the upper pen barrel, figuring it would make it harder to lose.
The pen is a "fat" slimline, pink ivory, CA/BLO finish, buffed with white diamond. Apologies for the color balance, not yet right in the photo - I'm still working on it.
Second question. do you see the color banding in pink ivory often? This is only the second one I have turned.
