Suggestion from me is take the bulge out of the blanks. Those kits look better bushing to bushing with a straight look. There is one of your pens the bulge is not in the center and it looks off balanced. This comes with feel over time. Kits like the majestic you shown can withstand a slight curve to it because it matches the kits lines. Keep at it and good luck. Just a friendly suggestion.

Very nice looking pens. Don't think I'd change anything with them.

Hello there PAUL
Thank You kindly for the honest response.
Personally, we find it difficult to turn just a bland-looking, Straight, plain and non-curvaceous Pen.
And on retrospect, the GRAIN in the Wood with the varied Depths shows remarkably better, if not different, on a Curved Profile.
I think that should be the crux, if not "the" most important criterion, of this Style of Turning.
Hope U agree
