What does it look like in there?

So today while working on a pen I had a bit of a mishap.  Well – plain and simply – I screwed up.  No big deal – happens every now and then.  I decided to turn that oops into an Oooooh.

Here you can see how close I get things and how far off they sometimes are.

Look at the lip of the section where it touches the inside shoulder of the cap.
Also look at the lip on the barrel and where it meets the cap lip.  That’s pretty good. 

Where thing’s AREN’T so great is the distance between end of nib and the cap ceiling.  Yeah, that’s a few mm too many.

So what happened?  The wood chipped out exposing a huge chunk of the insert while I was turning it.  Didn’t look too good.  I decided to cut the cap in half just for grins.
