Buckeye Burl - 1st CA finish

[Brooks803]

This is a Buckeye Burl that I purchased from isaacrapelje a week or so ago. Rhodium Tycoon from PSI and 6 coats of CA/BLO, MM to 12000, and 1 coat of Ren wax. This is my 1st attempt at a CA finish and I am very pleased with it! Any and all comments and/or advice welcome!

That is very nice! I carry a Jr Gent made of Buckeye Burl and I must say that it is a beautiful piece of wood. I need to turn more of it.

As someone who has seen this pen first hand I must say the photos don't do this pen justice. Jonathon did a phenomenal job with this unique wood and I think matched it very smartly with a wonderful pen kit. It even writes well!

Very nice pen, you did a great job, I like the wood too, I think I'll have to try to get some of that wood, aloha.
