Hi All,
Well I guess it is fair to say that I am hooked!
Pen turning is so tactile and pleasing to all the senses that my wife will struggle to drag me out of the workshop when I am not working.
The pen shown here is made from a nice piece of spalted elm, and polished to as high a shine as I am able to manage currently.
It appears that the favoured finish, or the finish offering the best polish is CA? I am going to attempt doing a CA finish on a pen. Will start with some scrap wood, and try and get the high polish finish before attempting a pen proper!
Also, when I trim my pen blanks, the end cutter comes out of the pen blank with green residue attached to the end???? Is this scraping from inside the brass tube???
Thanks,
