Longwood Slimline in Cocobolo

This one was a little more chalanging since my drill press only has a 2" throw, and the table is only 7" from the chuck.

Thanks to Drstrangefart and some other members, I'm starting to get a better understanding of the CA finish. Still need some improvement, but getting there.

Glad to be of help! Not seeing a pic on it yet, may wanna edit. The more practice you get with the CA finish, the more natural it feels.

Sorry about that. Forgot to post them. It's been remedied.

That's a great peice of timber that's been treated properly. I'm glad you showed it. Finish looks really clean, too.

Thanks, I really appreciated your help.


There's a few flaws, but it was late, and I get to the point where I decide I'm not doing it over again. :redface::biggrin:

I wanted to put the valleys in it in order to show off the grain.

Truth be told, I did a better job on the one I did the day before doing one blank at a time, but didn't get any pics before it left my possession.

I've done roughly 100 pens so far, and I still get flaws in a lot of them, but they get smaller. I'm less afraid of building up extra layers of medium or thick and MicroMeshing it down and re-building on a MUCH smoother surface. I can fill in some large pits doing that if I'm hellbent to finish a pen that's going badly.
