Another Churchill..

[Ligget]

Hello, I want to share my latest Churchill with you all, it is made from really dark piece of Cocobolo, the hardware is titanium gold and the finish is BLO/CA.

Thanks for looking, comments good or bad welcome!

Mark, That is a great piece of wood. You made a beautiful pen from it and that finish is awesome!

 

[DCBluesman]

I think that one was meant to have a home in the "colonies", so feel free to post it my way, Mark. It's freakin' beautiful!

 

[Jim15]

Super looking pen.

 

[skiprat]

Mark, that is a perfect example of why I wonder why you ever bother with plastics. [:0]

Keven it is CA/BLO finish on the wood, photographed outside to capture the sheen. Plenty of info re CA/BLO finishing in the library even some videos to watch.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments!

Awesome pen Mark!

Loving that finish! You must make a video of how you do it for the library! Is that buffed, or just plastic polish and ren?

absolutly stunning - does the location of manufacture have anyting to do with the kit selected?

When I see wooden pens like that I find it hard to imagine why people say acrylics outsell wooden pens so much. Very nice work.

Phil, after I finished with the CA and cut it back with MM this one got one coat of Ren Wax whilst on the lathe.[8D]

Bill I get my Churchills from Bear Tooth Woods.

Mark: Is this one going to be in your personal collection or find a happy home? Looks like a keeper to me.

 

[philb]

Well whatever you do to finish them like that its superb!

Where did you get the Cocobolo from? Its quite dark compared to the block I got form Craft-Supplies? That was more red and orange!

 

[Buzz]

Beautiful wood, perfect kit for it and great execution. Fantastic finish.

Wonderfull pen Mark, simply stunning with your fit & finish.
Glad Bill doesn't ask for a royalty on sales when using his wood
