Satin Nickel Cigar Dressed up in Bloodwood

[Band Saw Box]

I ordered some beautiful Bloodwood blanks from Patterson Grant on Pen Turning. This is the first time I've turned Bloodwood. I think it turns, sands and finishes really nice. The kits is a Woodcraft Satin Nickel Premier Cigar. I had Evelyn match the kit plating to the blank. I sanded the blank to 12000 mm and finished with 20 coats of WFT. All C & C are welcome.

Nice work. Bloodwood is nice to turn.

Great looking pen, Dan !! The wood and the hardware complement each other very well, Evelyn !!

Nice work! Bloodwood is my favorite. I can get a pack of 5 blanks at my local woodcraft for about $12, and with a nice CA finish they look amazing.

Thank you Steve, Mal and Chris for your nice comment's.

Thanks Harry, I have to say Evelyn has a good eye for matching kit plating to blanks.

I have to say Evelyn has a good eye for matching kit plating to blanks.

Judging by this and some of your other pens, she certainly does, and you do them justice. Another well done beauty.
