Amboyna Burl Navigator

I've been getting back to CA finishing after reading about it more here. I tried it early on with some great successes... and some tragic failures. Personally, I like the look of CA, but not the plastic feel... what's the point of a wood pen that feels like plastic? Regardless, that deep, deep wet look is beautiful, so I'm getting back to it.

This is a pen I turned a couple weeks ago, and just got around to finishing yesterday.

Looks pretty good to me!

Reminds me....gotta make some more fountain pens! And I think you've just inspired the wood to be used!!!!!

Good looking pen . In most cases the only people that care about the "feel" of wood are other woodworkers . The average person could care less about the feel of the wood , only about how good it looks and how well it holds up . A deep hard shine is the most desired quality of wood pens to most people .

Thanks for the kind words!

I know. But I guess it's okay, the pens I sell are the ones I don't have to use. I can always make "me pens" with as little finishing as I want.
