I'm soo aggravated with myself!

I bought some really nice acrylic blanks from Mrburls (keith) here on the forum. I picked one out and wanted to add a little more zing to it. So I cut my blanks and added some caps to do a Classic Rollerball pen. Had the blanks all ready but needed a refresher on turning it. I had forgotten all about having to cut a tenon on these for the center band. I searched all of Psi's 10mm kits but couldn't find one the would salvage my blanks. Of well, decided to just turn it and let it be. I was able to salvage a small sliver of the pink cap at the center band, but not much. Anyway, here it is.

Actually, I feel it looks great! That style is still a favorite of mine. You did an excellent job of turning, and only you (& now readers of your post) will know the asymmetry in the pink accent bands was not a part of your design.

Good move. The pen looks great.

I'm thinking they are very nice pens. Good job on the blanks!
