I just completed my 20th pen today. This one is probably not for everybody, but I wanted to do an intentional no centerband and I wanted it to be a little different. This is a Corian slimline. I love to turn corian..
I think it would look better if the upper and lower barrel blended together better rather than the abrupt drop from the lower to higher. You say you intentionally didn't do a center band but you actually made a custom center band. Very nice finish on the corian. Keep up the good work and keep experimenting.
I like the look, color and idea. I am not sure about the shape of the CB. the sharp edge looks like it will give someone a problem putting it in a pocket or such.
