After spending yesterday drilling,glueing and facing off a set of 8 fountain pens,today I turned the cap barrels for them,decided to do them this way to save time in not swapping bushes around (For fountain pens,I turn 1 barrel at a time to eliminate run out or play)


Turned with a round nose scraper start to finish then sanded from 150 to 400 grit and finished with a mixture of friction polish and renaissance wax which ended up giving them a very deep sheen which isn't fully highlighted in the photo.





Onto tomorrow....
