I just completed the last pen in the series of five kits I bought along with some basic pen tooling (mandrel, pen mill, bushings). This one I am not sure what the wood is, but the band on the end of the cap is purple heart from scrap I had from pen #4. I decided to do away with the center ring as in pen #2, but wanted to create a look of a cap posted to the pen. I think I achieved it mostly. I could have gone a bit more dramatic in making the "cap" a bit larger at the bottom, but I am pretty happy with the result. My skew skills are improving and I am really loving the slimline kit now that I don't have to use the center ring.
Here are all five of my very first pens in order of creation from left to right:
