A couple I made for customers. The majestic took a big piece of antler! Thanks to Andy (PenMan1) for kindly getting me the Majestic when PSI lost my order! The Buckeye Burl is from Woodturningz.
The buckeye is fantastic looking. I wish it were a better photo, it gets lost in the background. Great color variations in there. One of my all time favorite woods. Thanks for showing.
Great pens!!! I'm getting ready to turn my first FP with antler. Is that 8-10 coats of medium CA? I trun my wood to 600 with three coats of thin CA sanding between each coat. Will the 8-10 coats give a better finish? And do you just wipe on the CA? I have tried using medium CA and read about using CA in the foum but when I tried medium it left bumps on my blank. I was so discourged that I went back to thin CA. Any info will be help full.Thanks for your kind comments. I did finish with ca. Basically the same as wood. I use a couple of thin ca layers to soak in and then continue with 8-10 medium ca followed by mm to 12000.
