Well, I got my barrel trimmer in, so my 2nd pen doesn't have the CB gap issue. I like this pen, but wasn't totally happy with the straightness of the barrels (I like more contour). I bought bushings for the cigar pens I am trying next, so that shouldn't be such an issue. Some day, I'll do my own CB. I have tons of ebony and holly. I'd love to try a pine cone core for a CB sometime. I see a lot of things that are wrong with this pen, but I'm still happy with how it looks for my # 2.
I took Jim's advice and left off the comfort grip, especially since my wife wanted it off. I tried to do the finger rest thing from memory, though I never paid much attention to them. I should look some up, to see how to do them. Then again, I do kind of like this. I never liked them on other people's pens, but I knew the pen would slip right out of my wife's fingers if I didn't do one. This is her "advertisement pen" for work. I'm already getting people asking for a card or something.
Edit: Just a note, the background is curly redwood. I doubt if it would be much good for pens, but I'm going to make some projects out of it.
