Tonight is my first attempt at wood pens- I've done several acrylics and my finishing is fine on those, but the woods are a bit tougher.
I am currently sanding 150, 240, 320, 400 and 600. Then Micromesh 1,500 - 12,000. Then CA, 3 coats thin and 3 coats medium. Then the last three stages of MM again to smooth it a bit. Lastly, I am going through the 3 Beall stages.
My pens look good, but it seems a bit much.
Is there anything I can eliminate?
Maybe MM between coats of CA also?
