Black Ti Ambrosia Maple with Plexi finish

[terrymiller]

This is a Black Ti Baron made of Ambrosia Maple with my plexiglass finsish. The more I use this finish the more I like it and easier it gets.

Looks very nice.

Looks nice. So how do you make this finish and how do you apply it?

 

[turff49]

Impressive finish. I'd like to see it on a good figured wood like Fruited Mallee or Red Morrel or even lace Sycamore. Brian

Looks great. What is a plexiglass finish?

 

[hazegry]

you are really getting the hang of that plexi finish Terry

To answer a some of your questions:

Chris this is a solution of plexiglass dissolved in acetone usually used in the stabalization of the blanks by wood turners.

Brian here are some photos to some of my other pens with more figure.

Gerry to answer your questions for now here is a link that I posted when I first started using this stuff.

Terry, the pen looks really nice! How "plasticy" does it feel with the plexiglass finish? Any more/less so than with a CA finish?

 

[terrymiller]

Jim I cant tell the difference at all. I sent one to RTJW on the other site for the pen swap we just had and he loved the finish. He said that it may actually be better than the CA finish. He is the only one with a lot of experience that has seen one yet in person.
