It's been a while since I posted pics, so here goes:
Here's a pen I made to trade for some thin wood on another forum. It's a Black Ti Polaris, and the blank is as old as I am!
My first two custom twist pens. (Well, the first two that work correctly and look good
)
Both are made of Corian.
A full-sized Gentleman's fountain pen with curly Koa. Wow, these things are big!
A Panache pen. I'm not sure what kind of wood is on it, but it smelled good while turning it.
I gave this guy a matte finish by using steel wool on the CA.
Walnut on a Black Ti/Ti Gold cigar
This one's a black Ti clicker with a blank from Jonathan Brooks. It's quite impressive!
Here's my Hymark. I'm not sure what wood I used on it, but the scent was quite... peculiar.
This one's a Black Ti/Ti Gold Cigar pen. This has a spalted oak blank on it that I got off of ebay. I soaked the finish turned barrels in BLO for a day, and let them dry for two days. I then coated the barrels with CA and polished them.
And last but not least, a Black Ti/Platinum Cigar with some FBE on it. This stuff is a pain to turn! I soaked it with thin CA when I got close to the bushings, turned the CA off and turned the barrels down a bit. I repeated this until I was close enough to sand the rest of the way. A sharp skew helps, too.
