You got the Slimline kit down pat.
Now you can own that style by making your own custom center bands and adding an accent band to the top.
The possibility's are limited only by your imagination.
It is really not that hard.
Here is a photo of how I do most of my slimline center bands.
Glue the center band only to the top or bottom blank ... not both.
You should get it from the photo but if you need further clarification just call or PM me and I will be glad to help you.
After the center band and ring is glued on turn the pen as normal.
Score in some small rings and color them in with a sharpie before you sand and finish the pen.
See the shark pen photo as an example for the rings.
The pen on the lathe is an example of how the pen is mounted on the mandrel for sanding and finishing.
