I don't usually use my more expensive/exotic blanks for Europeans. But, I'm meeting with a potential new client who wants pens for upscale customers. This was made to (hopefully) impress her with what can be done with a 'using' type pocket pen. It is a CS Tn gold European made with stabilized Big Leaf Maple burl. Finish is my practically standardized: sand wood thru all grits of Micro Mesh with long-ways sanding between every grit, a coat of Deft spray laquer; let rest about an hour, resand with the three finest grits of MM, another shot of Deft, let stand several hours, polish with the 12,000 MM (the finest), polish with my trusty wool blanket; final sparkle added with a caranuba based auto wax, then polished again with my wool blanket. I'll be offering it for
$40.
