5 More Carbara's

[Josh Gertz]

So I got a little crazy and put together 5 more Carbaras...this is fairly addicting.

So from left to right:

• 24K with Lacewood (From CSue)
• 24K with Black Walnut (From CSue)
• Black with Cocobolo (From CSue)
• Chrome with Yellowheart (From CSue)
• Black with a Stabalized Spalted Maple

Thanks again for the blanks CSue, I still have 6 more waiting for some Sierras to come in.

I think I hate barrel trimming the most...I may go get the $30 belt sander from HF next week. I am also very sloppy with the CA Glue.

Im using Danish Oil and than Trip/WD/CW on the buffer for the finish. At some point I will try the CA/BLO finish to see how that goes.

For a personal pen, that is my favorite, although I have the "Atlas", which is the same thing.

They look good, Josh. How do you like turning the cocobolo?

I liked it, though it looked like I got baking chocolate all over the place.

The hardest one to turn was the stabalized spalted maple, for some reason that one kept catching on me.
