This is my Christmas present to me, the Irish Bog Oak came from Mike Shue aka Russianwolf, and the kit was a gift from a friend, the wood is a thrill to work with, there is almost something spiritual in working it. The Jr. Emperor will now be my very own " going someplace special pen" (like I ever go someplace special! Piggly Wiggly is upscale shopping for us) :monkey: The finish, took nearly 6 days to complete, it was BLO 4 coats, each burnished with a brown paper bag, then wait three days burnish until the blank was dry, and polished, then 3 coats of deft Lacquer, oven dried for 24 hrs, then wet sanded with 800 then 1000 then left alone, I like it, it looks natural, and has a special feel that just isn't there with a CA finish.
