hi everyone, A couple months ago i posted that I was having problems with turning some old barn boards. I was limited to how much wood i had even thought there was a whole barn of wood. My aunt was so protective of the wood and only would give me a couple small boards. I took half of it and treated it in Min-wax Wood hardener. After letting dry for a couple weeks I tried to turn some. It was so sappy and sticky It was imposable to turn. So I cut up the rest and turned and treated with CA as I turned it. Thats the Sierra Clicks. So after letting the minwax treated blanks dry for over 2 months i was able to turn them into the slims.
The choice of platings was my aunts choice. Chrome for the Clicks and Gun Metal for the slims. These are all going to her kids there husbands and wives and grandkids. There was a total of 20 pens. I took a picture of the barn and and made little cards to put in the boxes.
Im really happy with the way they turn out. Going tomorrow to give them to her. Hope she likes them. Rich H
