I just turned my first Perfect Fit from Berea, and it's probably going to end up being my favorite twist. It's beautiful hardware, has a nice transmission, and uses the Parker, which I like better than Cross.
But first, my center band fit wasn't so perfect. I'm not sure quite how to handle that thin little top band, and the wood ended up pressing over it, ruining the pen. I am assuming the culprit there was that when I cut the tenon (if you'd call it that since it goes all the way to the tube), I didn't go back and check the width of the wood where the band goes. [:I]
But if anybody else has puzzled over this and has any advice, I'm not too proud to take it.
