Simple Streamline

[Ligget]

Hi, just a humble Streamline pen made from Afzelia Burl with chrome plated hardware, finish is Enduro (the finish is a lot better than the photo shows). Comments welcomed!
Cheers
Mark

You are right, Mark, that is a pretty humble pen, not good enough to display in your collection of your work. Since I haven't made it over for that drink of single malt yet, why don't you just mail it to me. []

Hey, not fair!!!!Everyone in the UK gets shoptime except me[!]

Humble maybe, classy for sure. I like the clip on those too.[]

Hi Mark,

That is a very elegent pen. Lovely work.[8D]

Would you recommend the enduro finish? I get frustrated with the CA application on certain woods, as it can appear patchy on some. Have stopped using it completely on African Blackwood.[B)]

Simple clean lines.........Outstanding ...Perry

I second the classy vote! If I remember, that kit is the same diameter as a slim, am I correct? I also have extra problems with CA on African Blackwood, I thought i was alone.

Very nice pen Mark. But I'm thinkin you should strap something a little bigger on that Nova lathe you bought []

 

[clement]

Well done, and not humble at all. Could you tell me more about enduro finish ? Like some others I'm not always satisfied with my results in CA finish.

Very Nice! Where is the kit from?

Kenny - I would recommend Enduro but it takes a lot longer to apply than CA.
Anthony - I am practicing bowl turning on my DVR at the moment, watch this space.
TomG - kit is from here:

Here is where I buy my Enduro, there is information regarding this product also:

Thanks Again Mark,


I think I will give it a try. Do you get more consistancy of finish using enduro, and are there still problems with application on some woods, or is it a better option on most woods?

Will do some reading on the links posted, and get my hands on some to try.

 

[Ligget]

Kenny, there are more positives (for me anyway) using Enduro.
1. Wooden pen feels like a wooden pen.
2. No nasty eye watering smells.
3. Consistent results everytime.
It sure is a personal thing but I prefer Enduro over CA.

 

[kkwall]

Mark, Consistancy, and standard of finish are the most important factors, and I am not getting that at the moment.

The finish I see on your pens is first rate, and if you get that type of result each time, then it prvents the if's or but's that I have at the moment.


Cheers.

Hi Mark,

The Stream Line is the only 7 mm pen I make, I wish they made a pencil.

This one is clean and humble and a real winner...what is not to like...Excellent!

Now thats a pen that I would buy! It looks really classy, yet simple.- Chris

 

[csb333]

I did not read the other comments before I posted the one above and Classy was the first thing I thought, so I guess that the general consensus is that you have a very Classy pen here!- Chris
