From this weekend

[plomanto]

Here is what I got done this weekend


First one is a European Twist Pen done in Bocote

Second is a Classic In Bloodwood

Next a Classic done in Koa

Lastly A cigar done in Silk Wood With a Bloodwood Knot

After a fair amount of pens finished with CA-BLO I think I have figured out the way that works for me to get a very high luster finish (even if the pics dont show it)

Thanks for looking

Great pens.

I've never heard Banksia referred to as Silkwood. Although our Silky Oak is commonly called Lacewood. Banksia often has very tight medullary rays and can have a figure similar to Silky Oak (Lacewood).
