Finally got to work on something for my family this week. Dad insisted he wanted a slim set that wouldn't drag down his shirt pocket.
Interesting story on this wood. I acquired it as an incredibly ugly cactus statue at a junk store, along with an equally hideous owl, and a marlin. On a later visit, my dad immediately claimed the cactus and declared that the knife scales I had been promising and a set of slabs for his gold cup were to be found in there somewhere. I did make him help with the sanding and polishing though. So... looks like he has a pen set to match now.
Blanks were turned, sanded at 180 and 320, sealed with ca and wetsanded at 320, then dry at 600 and 1500, then buffed on my homemade beale with brown tripoli, white rouge, then 2 coats of renwax.
suggestions are appreciated.
