First Successful CA Finish

[omb76]

Many thanks to Scott (aka MorganGrafixx) for having me over last Saturday and showing me just how easy a CA finish can be. He demonstrated on 2 pens and this was my first one by myself. Not too bad if I do say so myself. Wood is Redwood burl from Eric (aka ersRFP).

Comments / critiques welcome... Thanks for looking!

Congrats. Hopefully it will not be your last CA finish. I find CA finishing to be like someone once said about riding a motorcycle. "You'll do fine as long as you let it ride you, but when you think you can ride it, watch out it will throw you".

Honestly, that looks really good and you should be proud.

Took me awhile to get it, but now I use it on every pen. I think it makes them look mmmmmm fancier? richer? more finished?

Thanks for the compliments everyone! It's really not that hard of a finish to do. I'm not a huge fan of wood pens as you can see by what I post, but the CA finish was something I needed to know how to do as a penturner.

Thanks again to Scott to showing me that this wasn't rocket science! :biggrin:

Almost an AH-HA moment when you figure out a ca finish that works.!
