Pen and Pencil set made without the original Center Bands. The wood used is Oak, which was given to me in a big log that had been laid in someones garden for quite a number of years. The centers are made from plastic. The pen is in two halves while the pencil is all one barrel.

To do the pencil barrel i placed the two tubes on to the center band and then turned the C/B down between centers on the lathe.
