Overall I'm happy with this one and I didn't waste any material. The challenge for me with this one was using an Elm hybrid blank (1.5 blanks actually).
It's not perfect and has a couple of problems.
1. I could not get a good polish on the section. Its Alumilite. it took a thread well and the body and cap did polish up really well - I Think maybe because it was so thin and was getting hot to quickly and I didnt know how to deal with that.
2. I also not happy with the look of the threads, mainly the body thread for the cap. it works well, but its just too dull and doesn't feel great.
Any advice with those problems would be greatly appreciated.
