This blank of Jichimu that I won in a contest sponsored by Dave (Rarest Wood) totally intimidated me. I cannot tell you how many times the finish was stripped and the blanks were touched up. It still is not perfect, but neither I nor the wood can take any more stress! :befuddled:
After trying varnish, wipe on Poly, and cursing, I finally did a CA finish on the wood. The Jichimu graces a Gold Titanium Statesman kit with a fountain pen nib upgrade using one of the Lou's (DCBluesman) semi-flex steel nibs.
Thanks to Dave Lee for allowing me access to such a piece of wood and to Lou for the nib upgrade.
