Ok, I have enogh. Must ask for some advice. I turn my first antler pen last week, it went great. The "blank" was almost all white, which ment no porosity material (little hole). And I thought:" Well, this antler pens will be made faster than wooden". Yeah, right.
So this time, it is a piece of antler which is almost all grey colour when turned down to app. diameter, and it is of course full of little holes (pores). I looked at some threads and tutorials on fiiling it with thin CA, and so far I have done this about 10 times, but some pores are still open. Man.
I even used medium CA one time, but still no good. It is like thin CA would not want to go inside the hole (?????)
How do you apply CA ? Is it normal that it takes so much glue ? I think I have used more CA on this pen so far that I would for 10 normal CA finishes on wood.
Thanks in advice for possbile advice.
