I only adjusted the metal parts. But it is scanned, and I think that accounts for it.

I truly do need to get a digital camera soon. However, the recent ice storm -man we got slammed- put me behind a bit and so it'll be a while yet.

Gorgeous absolutely gorgeous. I aspire to this level of achievement.

I'm relatively new to pen turning as a saw dust creator and still learning a lot from all of you. So I just have to ask. Where do you find the Imperial kits?

OK I think my Google Skills are intact - CSUSA Kit

Thanks in advance

Same as everybody else's. CA. I use Berea's Triple Distilled Thin, and Grizzly's Maxi Cure Thick. Micromesh, and then Novus Two, Ultra Gloss, and Renaissance wax.


Imperial kits come from CSUSA. They are pricy.

Very nice work. Beautiful!

I finished my first DI last night. The finish is decent, but the wood had some harsh defects. I started with my "easy" wood finish, but had to strip it and go to CA and the buffer. I'll do another, cleaner blank soon.

I'm looking in to that. Anyone interested in a small group buy?

I paid over $50 for the original three, but all sold no problem.

If what you can get will be equivalant to how the pictures you took look (obviously not referring to your finish, but the quality of the material itself), I'm interested. Premium blanks + Premium kits = Premium price.
