I turned my first Apollo yesterday and I'm a fan. This would make my first closed end cap and body. I think that up until now I have never turned Alumilite either and it was THE most pleasant turn. I had so much fun with this pen. Turning with mandrels allows you a bit of freedom with shape and diameter. The nib/and converter etc. are such nice quality too (Schmidt.) I'm so impressed and happy with the results.
As a bonus the threads are triple start and I figured out to to align my blank pattern.

Alumilite Clear Slow Resin blank in "Iris" also from Bullseye Turning.
