First time showing a pen here :)

The blank is one of the dyed blanks from @Benpen. Came out beautifully. Kit is the Rollester in Gun Metal finish. Turned between centers, CA glue finish (mercury glue, glu-boost accelerator). It's actually my first pen with a cap. All my others have been twist or click pens, and a pencil.

I spend a lot of time with calipers, getting as precise as possible, as nothing bothers me more than finishing a beautiful blank with clunky-feeling transitions to the kit pieces upon assembly. So this one I got less than 2 thousandths of an inch, and the transition at tip feels especially nice. Slightly annoyed that the clip diameter is smaller than the post… but it's fine lol.

Probably my 20th-ish pen since picking this hobby up about a year ago. Been very fun, I've learned an enormous amount, mostly either from this forum or learning the hard way

Comments/suggestions are welcome!

That is a nice pen; the blank is colorful. Your attention to precision might indicate you are someone in engineering or machining.

Excellent pen turning. Lovely blank also. Thanks for sharing.

Very nicely done! Thank you for sharing it with us!

Your obsession with fit and finish seriously appeals to my inner Enginerd!

Very nice, I like the color and I always like curly wood.
Aloha.

Nice job. You learned early on the importance of precision in this hobby.

Very Nice - amazing chatoyancy! - Dave

Nice work. The precision pays off. Ben's blanks are great to work with.

I completely agree with you regarding clips being a different diameter being annoying. Lots of kits are like that, so we live with it.
