I must admit to thinking similar to "boxerman" in his thread "won't post my work anymore".
After much cogitation with myself as well as reading all the posts in his thread, I have come to the conclusion, that my thinking was somewhat skewed in the wrong direction.
So here for your critiques and comments are 2 of my latest pens.
The pens have been turned from a slab of Manitoba Maple Burl that was sent to me from a friend.
Both pens are finished with 12 coats of CA, sanded lightly with 600 grit after the 1st 6 coats. They were then wet mm'd ( with a few drops of liquid dish detergent added to the water) from 1500 grit to 4000 grit.
Buffing with Formax Buffing Compound (Extra-Fine 515-6165) followed by a buffing of Carnuba Wax.
Any and all comments/critiques will be appreciated. Any comments and/or tips you may have with respect to posing of pens would be greatly appreciated as well.
