Pen turning

Recently I'm trying European pen turning.
It is fun but I need more technic for detail.
Especially I need to care connection area between blank and top or bottom of pen.
I tried bamboo blank first time, I like bamboo style!

Corn cob

It's corn cob.
I tried to make pen with it at first time.
It was very easy to turn, but very brittle similar to cork.
It was for our friend's birth present.
