also thanks to the others that posted on finishing ebonite , it is natural no finnish other than sanding and pollish .
My second one is American Wormy Cheastnut , with a little ca as finnish.

Wood was also free , dont you just love free stuff .....

IF it were me, I would include a history with the ebonite, when you submit for jurying. Shows you know a little about pens, which makes you look more professional.

Nice pens Dave. That ebonite has great character.

Pardon my ignorance, but what do you mean they are being juried? Are they for a contest or art show of some kind?

 

[Russianwolf]

I gave you that????? Sheesh, I'll have to consider my "donations" more carefully next time. :tongue:

Great looking set. As Lou said, and provide them with the background on the other materials as well, I'll bet most don't realize how uncommon Chestnut is now, and how common it used to be.

Ebonite is spectacular for sure...the other one is just as nice...just preferences that all.

That Ebonite is a ripper!!!

Like the other one too.

Juried shows judge the craft items on whether you get a booth or not. Some shows are really picky about who get in.

Beautiful pair of pens. I love the Ebonite. I wish I could get my hands on some.

Pens look great, good luck with the judges.

Lovely pens David, the Ebonite is my favourite too!
