Queensland Walnut Box set

[timberbits]

Been cracking in the workshop again.

This is a QLD Walnut box set. I got the slab of Walnut from Mal at Boutique Timbers over a year ago. I ripped it up and air dried it for over a year.

Here is the result.

QLD Walnut box with African Wenge Handle.

The pens are burl Brown Mallee Pristina Rollerball and Fountain Pen.

Sanded to 600grit, 20 thin coats of CA. Micromesh all the way then hit it with Brasso, corn flour paste and Automotive wax.

This is the first time I am working with QLD Walnut, all I can say is I don't like the doggie poo smell when your working the timber.

Hope you like it as much as me.

As always, comment or suggestions are always appreciated.

Regards

David

Great looking pens and box David.i haven't used corn flour yet,most likely same as tooth past, but a lot less $$$

Two questions,

a) how thick is your CA coats and why '20 coats'?

b) why use micromesh then undo it with brasso?
