Made it this A.M. It's from Black Ash Burl, a complimentary blank from Dawn and Ed at Exotics, on a Gold with Sterling Silver Accented Cambridge Hybrid Fountain Pen. I have never turned a burlwood with so many eyes! Finished with sandpaper to 600 grit, thin CA X 2 coats, medium CA X 8 coats, MM (wet) from 1500 to 12000 grit followed by HUT Plastic Polish. After the initial coats of thin CA, the wood seemed to take on a yellow tinge to it. I've seen change in hue when CA is applied to some woods, but this was more pronounced. Not sure why. Anyhow, had fun turning it. I hope you like it. Comments welcome but most of all thanks for looking. Have a great day. Doc
