This piece of x cut Wenge has been daring me to turn it for about a year now,I even think I heard it call me a chicken a time or to,so here it is, not the friendliest wood to work with.

Bill , Wenge is bad enough cut with the grain, I can understand the wood calling you a chicken [
] But that chunk of wood just didn't know who it was dealing with [)] the finish looks like it's about a foot deep [^] all in all I'd say one heck of a job

That's a marvelous job, Bill. Simply marvelous. What's the plating/finish on those fittings?

Very nice looking pen!

Thanks for the info, Bill. I went to the Bear Tooth Woods site to take a look. No offense to Ernie, but I'm thinking that if he sees your pen, he's going to want to put yours on his web site. If that's the case, can I be your agent? [

Bill,
I can get acrylic to have a shine like that but never wood! Whats your secret? I'd love to know more because if I could get wood to shine like that, acrylics wouldn't be nearly as interesting.
