Just got the lathe and tools this week. This is my third pen overall, and only second from start to finish on my new lathe. My first pen is almost comically bulbous, so I'm looking to slim things down, and I really like this one. Of course, I gave it to my daughter fresh off the lathe.
EDIT: I was also careful to mark the alignment of the grain when I cut the blank. Only to promptly forget to align the grain when I assembled the pen. Live and learn.
