a good start my friend but youve over turned or sanded a little too much. you want to make sure your turning matches the pen parts. yours look a little skinny bud. thats ok, it's how you learn. next one leave it a little fat to allow for the final sanding. keep at it and you'll be a pen making machine before you know it !

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
