Hi there! Here is a new pen made from spalted tamarind wood, and a orion pen kit. It is a beautiful piece of wood and finishes well. The short piece is drilled with a 15/32 drill bit, the main body is drilled to a 25/64 size hole. After the tube is securely glued into each length of wood, the trimming of the ends, the different size bushings for each piece, the turning is the next step. Having sharp tools for the turning procedure is vital in the results. After the turning, sanding starting again with 400, 600, 1200, 1500, 2000, 4000, turning polish is then applied (several coats) and the bees wax, and we're ready to assemble the pen kit, and there you have it.
