FP#2 and FP#3

[Queso]

Same kits as before. Big leaf maple burl and redheart. Not quite where I want to be yet, but getting better.

Both pens are very nice! Good job on the photo too!

Keep it up. Your pens are looking great! Good job on these two.

 

[DCBluesman]

You were absolutely right, Paul. There's a noticeable improvement between your first and these two. Keep up the great work!

Very nice, Paul. I really like what you've done with these FPs in comparison to your first. You might want to try using something like Shellawax, HUT Crystal Coat, Polyurethane, or lacquer, over a few coats of shellac used as a sanding sealer...or (shudder...my lungs react to the stuff) even CA to bring out a higher gloss. There are several finishing tips for each of these materials found in the articles section or in the tips and tricks at the Yahoo! Penturners group.
