A friend in town that does leather crafting gave me some scraps of leather yesterday and I glued some up last night . Then this afternoon I decided to try my luck at tuning a leather pen.
There are 35 to 40 crossway's pieces of leather in it. .
I was a little concerned that it might finish off without a smooth feel but much to my surprise it is hard and as smooth as glass after treating it with CA.
The finish is sanding down to 600 grit followed by six applications of CA/BLO applied 20 seconds apart followed by One Step polish and then a coat of carnauba wax. .
This one is going to the friend that gave me the leather and I will be making a few more both in gold and chrome . They are not a thing I would like to make a lot of but as I am always up to a challenge , I just wanted to try it to see if I could do it.
