Jim: Thanks! I use CA/BLO finish. Sanding sealer, sand to 12000MM, apply 3 coats of CA/BLO and sand to 3200MM, buff with tripoli and white diamonds and final polish with HUT Ultra Gloss and a final treatment with TSW. And, yes, the pen tip is out, but it was twisted to be out (I hope). I'm sure it was. Checked and double checked all the pen for proper functioning.
Justin: I was going to make closeup pics but packaged the pens this morn to be shipped. I would unpack and shoot closeups, but the pens must meet a deadline and must be mailed this morn. What did you want to see close up. The big leaf maple, macnut, or the buckeye.
Anthony: Yes, this is the buckeye I purchased at the swap meet. It is turning out very nice. Do you need some? And, it was a nice sell. Looking for more like it.
Do a good turn daily!
