I made an olive wood cigar pen for my BIL since he's given me a couple big chunks of olive.
Turned out very nice. Good shape, good finish. Then I noticed I had switched the upper and lower tubes when I turned it. Argh. :eek:
Can't think of a way to make it work without returning the pen - even then I don't know if it would work, since the wood would be a smaller diameter than the bushings if I put them where they were supposed to be.
I guess I'll start on a fresh one tomorrow or the next day.
No, no pic. Maybe then it didn't happen?
