My very 1st time

[Rchan63]

My very 1st time with Amboyna, I have to say I REALLY do LOVE this wood. Comments are welcome.

Finished with 2 coats of Myland wood sealer, 2 coat Myland high friction polish, 8 coats of CA, wet sand with 1500 grit and finished with one step plastic polish.

Great job! Amboyna Burl is my favorite wood, too.

Amboyna Burl is one of my favourite woods too, your pens look fantastic as does your CA finish!

Great looking pen! I think everybody loves Amboyna. I have only turned it once but I really liked it.

I don't know the wood cost too much. I need to find a cheap source.

I was able to buy a larger chuck from Rockler, and I cut it down to pen blanks. Cost very little per blank, in the long run. Of course, Rockler doesn't buy locally from independent suppliers anymore, and I used a 20% off coupon. But still...
