At my wife's suggestion, I tried re-gluing the tube into the top of the olivewood pen that had come unglued. It worked, after a fashion. The tube was, strangely, a bit long for the blank anyway, so while the pen now works, it does not QUITE fit together at the middle. Not an unqualified success, but better than it was. Another "office pen", I suppose. One that I can use, but maybe not one I can give away...and definitely not one that I can sell.
The wet sanding that I did yesterday left some residue on the lathe. I am not quite sure what the best technique is to clean it. I looked it up online, and people seem to use kerosene or WD40 to clean the lathe, but I think they are more talking about the moving parts and such. I may try WD40 and a rag just to see how well it works.
