I used to find Hazel a bit boring but contrasting it with a mahogany band makes it look so much better.

That is the first pen made from Hazel that i have seen Paul .. You made a super job with it, and you will know how i like the center band made from wood rather than the supplied piece .. :winking:

Like it Paul well done sir :banana::banana::banana:
I'm coming round to discarding centre bands as there are so many alternatives wood or plastic etc. plus when turned on the lathe a much better fit can be achieved

Thats a beaut Paul.
Have you tried using a copper penkit, with your centerband, I reckon that would rock:banana::banana::banana:

Always willing to give anything a go so I may just do Rowdy. After making this one I did go out and make another with a purple heart centre band and red fittings.
