Ruby pen turning
Member
I had an idea of doing a three wood laminated pen. So I made me a template with a twist in it and laminated away. (you should have seen the glue on my fingers after doing that)
After the glue had dried I trimmed it all up to 3/4" and spun it round. You could see the twist but after all was said and done, it was a waste of time trying to twist it, as it really did not show up in the final pen. The woods are Padauk, Fiddleback maple? and Bokote. The pen is slightly short then normal because I wanted to get a final out of the blank. The spring is in there, it just does not do any springing. There are 10 coats CA sanded and sanded again through all the colored pads and polished with Novus.
Thanks for takin a gander. Comments bad or good always welcome.
