carbon fiber

I just added a new pen blank. It's a Carbon Fiber tube-in pen blank, smooth pre-finish, for Sierra Twist pen kit. The pen blank is complete and ready for assembly. No turning! The blank is smooth and polished with Yorkshire grit compound and MacGuire polish. Just press together your pen kit...

I am tryng to cast some carbon fiber blanks for the virage kit. Using 0.5 inch carbon/fiberglass biaxial sleeves from Soller Composites. My problem is getting the carbon fiber tight enough at the ends so it doesn't come through when I turn down to the bushings. Any suggestions?

Somtime ago I took back a Jr. Stateman in reindeer antler that had cracked. I've been carrying that FP for my own, but, decided it wasn't a good idea to be showing a cracked pen to interested people and then try and explain why it cracked. For sometime I've been looking for just the right...
