I finished this off yesterday but the light had faded too much for photos.

My thanks to Lyonsarc for this blank. I finally got around to using it. Thank you Dave.

Thanks for looking, and C&C most welcome.

Bob.

Very nice - what kind of finish did you use?

It's a CA finish, 1 coat of thin and 6 of medium, sanded to 1800 after 1st and 4th coat, then buffed.

Cheers,
Bob.

I really like the finish on this pen. Usually a CA finish is fairly obvious, but it was hard to tell if this one was CA or friction polish. I don't usually do any intermediate sanding - might need to give that a try.

This would be a pen I would not want a finish on at all. I would be afraid that the finish would prevent one from smelling the blank. That would be the apeal to me, the smell.

I did think about that, but decided that the wood would deteriorate and discolour too much over time. But I take your point.
