Walnut Burl Perfect Fit

[Rick_G]

I got this Walnut burl blank from Seer in the Aussie swap earlier this year. Love walnut and this is the first burl I've got hold of. Going to have to look for more of these. Ti. Gold perfect fit on walnut burl. It's going to the wife's nephew who shipped out to the middle east last week. Just waiting to get a few more done to go with it for his buddies.

VERY nice finish. My Walnut pens never seem to have enough shine and depth.
Mind describing your finish?

It's a CA finish. I sand to 600, a thick coat of thin CA and then wipe off excess. 4 to 8 layers of medium, then sand smooth, a couple layers of medium with BLO then polish with auto polish. Works for me.

Man, Black Walnut is a sleeper. Beautiful depth.

The nephew should really cherish such a nice pen.
