My First Cambridge

[rd_ab_penman]

Tianium Gold and Sterling Silver Rollerball with Amboyna Burl.
Writting instrument is quite heavy but well balance. Comfortable to hold and write with.
Will make a nice present for someone special.

Sanded Amboyan to 12,000 MM. Applied 6 coats of Fast Drying Minwax Clear Gloss Diamond Hard Polyurethane. Wet sanded and polished from 4,000 down to 12,000 MM. Applied two protective coats of Brazilian Carnauba.

I really like this fast drying Polyurethane. Appled with folded strips of blue shop towel to get a smooth lint free application.

As always suggestions and comments welcome.
