I saw that video too. did you apply the stamps straight to the tube or did you turn down a black then applied them to that?
Get first pen by the way.

Acutally I just took a plain hard maple blank and turned that down to the bushing diameter, and applied the stamps directly to the maple pen barrell using the techniques in the video. When I do another one, I will actually make the maple barrell a little smaller than the actual bushing size because the stamps and finish add some thickness to the final barrell.

Nice I think I will add that to my to do list. Good job by the way.

I tried this method. However, when I applied the CA with a paper towel, it also rubbed the stamps, which didn't turn out so good.
However, the castings worked....

Did seal the stamps first? The video use mod podge to seal the stamp before applying the CA finish.

The youtube site is: Make a Postage Stamp Pen using Decoupage and Pen Making Techniques - YouTube
Its kind of hard to tell some of the products he uses, but I attached some pictures showing what he uses. The 3M adhesive is used to attach the stamps to the barrel, and the Mod Podge is used to seal the stamps before applying your CA Finish.
