Made these two to give to my office mates. The one on the right I had a small tear out on the top. What happened is, I was getting pretty close to final size, so I applied some thin CA. A little to close to the bushing and when I went to switch to finishing bushing, a little piece of wood ripped off. I shortened the blank by about 1/32 and was able to trim back the transmission mechanism that same amount. Pen will use a standard refill and it works perfectly. If I hadn't shortened it, the refill stuck out slightly when retracted. Pens are GT Knurl's, black and chrome plating. Woods are maple, chechen, cocobolo and black vaneer for spacing.
