Nice pen Paul,
just love this kit, simple and easy to assemble, and the small centerband is neat.
You got the Rotur pen turning kit, I'm right?
The bushings they give with this kit, are a little bit oversized, but afer some sanding they become the right size
Have you some previuos experience in wood turning?
By the way, you are on the right pat, just keep turning pens and forge your own style and finish preference.
Cheers
Francesco
