Golden Amboyna Burl pencil

[wolftat]

I was making this for an order, but it didn't come out the way I wanted it to so it will remain with me. I'm not too upset about it though...LOL It is made with a TN Gold Cigar kit and maybe tomorrow I will make a matching pen improperly and have a matched set. The finish on this one is clear gloss poly.
EDIT (for Cav)--- These are both from my stash, another first.:biggrin:

Very nice. A bit over turned, but nice.

That's why it is staying with me as a shop pencil, it was too nice of a wood to scrap the whole thing.:frown:

Very nice work on your pen, great job.

Reversed some bushings, huh?

I've heard people say that's how .. um .. nevermind. :tongue:

Nope, just used the wrong bushings completely and when I hit it with the caliper, I knew I was screwed but wasn't going to toss wod like this. I may cast it and redo the blank.

That is too nice a plating to have on a shop pencil, disassemble it and turn the wood off the tubes to save them too.

I get my Cigar bushings mixed up frequently!

What I am talking about would be casting clear acrylic over the wood so I would still have the look of the wood. This stuff has a lot of eyes and I would like to keep it since I don't have any more of it. The TN Gold is the perfect finish for a shop pencil as far as I am concerned.

Wow what a bummer, I like your idea of casting over the wood, but won't that be an awful thin layer of resin?

It would be just as thick as if I were to build it up with CA. It is a mistake that can turn into an experimental blank, if it doesn't work, I have lost nothing. It is worth a try at least.
