Two Tone Amboyna Burl on Cambridge

[wizard]

Made it this morning. It is Amboyna Burlwood with Sapwood on a Woodcraft Gold Navigator with Sterling Silver Accents. The Amboyna is from Bad Dog Burls. Turned easily. Sanded from 150 to 600 grit followed by cleaning with rubbing alcohol.
Used CA (thin) X 2 coats followed by CA (medium) x 6 coats. Then MM (wet)
from 1200 to 12000, followed by HUT Plastic Polish and RenWax. Thank you for taking the time to look! Doc

Nice work. Love the finish and working on perfecting it myself....

Thanks for the compliment, but I think I went a little overboard with the coats of CA as my wife told me it looked like plastic rather than real wood.

Doc, It looks great, It looks like it should belong in a Bentley commercial. Like Gloves in a Rolls.

You certainly produce some beautiful pens.

Exquisite pen Doc, two tone Amboyna is hard to beat, and I like the Cambridge kit, it's not far behind the old Jr. Emperors and has a comfortable grip section. My only complaint is you can't use one of the Heritance SF nibs, the feed is notched for the nib, apparently the IPG nib is thicker for the Cambridge, which is kind of odd, since it's really just an over the top El Grande. But they are still nice pens.

It's awesome, Doc. Finish is awesome. No "overboard" in my eyes! Great job.

It's beautiful, and I think the finish looks nice. The kit has got a little too much bling for my tastes, but there's no doubt that it's a looker.
