Don't laugh! both are gifts.. the CA on the mesquite came out poorly, in my opinion.. perhaps I'll try enduro - I just can't make CA work.

Whats wrong with the ca on the mesquite? Actually it looks really good in the photo. Your doing better than I am with ca thats for sure.

I don't think they look bad at all, actually, I like the Mesquite one the most. Nice job.

Corey: I like the mesquite too, but I couldn't get the CA to stop clouding up for the life of me, and I did a rush job sanding it out... so there's a couple of cloudy spots, it's not as perfectly clear as I'd like.. I also turned a bit slim on the one end. I worked it in so it's not too noticeable... Gotta improve my MM technique.
Does anyone use a foam pad with their MM, or just go lightly with finger backing?

I like the mesquite one too more than the other. Also, it looks as though you got the pens nice and smooth and even with the ends. Very nice.
Oh, I just use finger backing on MM. As long as I keep sliding from side to side, I get no lines on the finished part.

Thanks guys! maybe I'm just being overcritical I spent a long time on the mesquite pen, and that was my second try at CA on it - the first one I completely hosed..
The redheart pen was just to see what redheart looked like as a pen - I'm not too impressed, and I gave that one to my landlord as a christmas gift. I do like the mesquite - it's a blast to turn.
