I finally got my order for Bois de Rose in and here is a pic of my first pen with it. It is my 10th pen altogether. I scratched it up a bit, while trying to remove a pen mill burr, but otherwise, it isn't bad. I had a lot of trouble with my CA. I think it is going bad, as I had it out in freezing temps a few nights. It takes forever to dry outside and also a while indoors. I finally broke down and bought some thin CA from Woodcraft. It cost a small fortune. I also picked up some DEFT spray-on lacquer. Any ideas how to use it?
EDIT: This is also my first pen to be sold outright (not traded for yardwork). I price my sierras at $40.00, but give a $5.00 discount to people in my home church. I also sold its twin (that doesn't exist yet) to another person in the group. I also want to make a pen and pencil set for myself. I've got to make a pen out of this white oak that I use for the back ground.

BTW, Dan, it was very nice meeting you today.
