Greetings
I found this pencil kit in my stash and it didn't have a center band. I turned an Aluminum coupler, pressed the two tubes on it for a one piece tube. I had a piece of Buckeye burl from the Loser's train a couple years ago. Drilled, turned and finished with a BLO and 3 coats of clear satin wipe-on poly. Another fun part was creating a spreadsheet to help me calculate the steps and diameters to make a curved profile on my metal lathe. I after turning the steps I finished with files and sandpaper.
C&C always appreciated.
Regards,
Mike
