Hi all, though I'd introduce myself by showing my first attempts at turning pens....First is in elm, the second is spalted beech. Both have problems....the beech one has gone on to shrink, there's now a distinct gap of about 1.5mm between the body and the centre ring. The elm is better but is out of round. Got more to play with though so plenty of chances to get it right. C&C most welcome.
