Workshop Pencil --- Mesquite Burl

[Dale Parrott]

I made this earlier this week, finished it and took photos. After looking at the close ups I decided it wasn't up to my standards. After completely disassembling and reworking the blanks I was happy. The CA finish is the first ever for me. Hope you like it.

That's your first CA finish? Looks good!

Yep, it's my first try. It didn't start out that way but in the reworking process my nib was a fuzz proud of the blank. I remember seeing something about how the CA can be built up to take care of that mishap. So, that's what I did.

That is the way Mesquite should look! Good job.

CA can be a bit finicky. That finish looks great.
