corn cob FP

[Queso]

Stabilized corn cob FP - corn cobs are a pain in the butt to work with. Stabilization makes them better, but they're still a pain in the butt. I have some TSW on order, but until it arrives I just put four coats of lacquer on the barrels.

Nice pen...but you are right about being a pain. Did you stabilize or puchase the cob already done? I have only one successful corn cob pen so far and it does not get shown here.[xx(]
How much work was required after the application of the lacquer?

I have yet to get my corn cob pen done. Keep getting blow outs. Nice work on yours.

I agree... Pain or not you got one great looking pen there. I love the corn cob look and am working on getting some ready to try. Hardened about a dozen cob's hoping to get 1 out of em.

Not much. I took if off the mandrel and assembled it. The only difficult part at that point was getting the little O-rings over the threads.

Nice job!

 

[JimGo]

Very nicely done. Love the colors!

 

[DCBluesman]

The O-rings really set this one apart. Nice job.

My wife is saving me some corn cobs after seeing this. (She feeds all the wildlife around here. Yes, me too.) How do you prep the cob for turning?

Great looking pen. Am looking forward to seeing your reply on how you prepared the corn cobs. Any little details for a new pen turner you add in there will be greatly appreciated too
