Gotta love Ironwood. Did you have any problems with cloudy patches on the finish? The first couple I did had small areas where the Ca was not quite as clear as the rest of the pen. I've since started wiping the blank down with a little accelerator sprayed on a paper towel before applying the CA and the clouds have gone away.

That's another beauty Alton . I have yet to turn that stuff . You've inspired me to dig it out and try it . Nice work !

Hi Phil,
I wipe any blank with Acetone that I think might give me problems. Seems to have alleviated any problems with clouding.

Nice work. I really like the shape, and your finish brings out a lot of depth in the wood.

Looks to be a very nice pen, but it is a bit hard to see.

Watch out, I do the same thing, but some Brazilian Ebony looked good for 3 or so months then looked at it and one side of the cap was cloudy, I've got a couple of DIW pens that are close to a year old and no problems, yours is really nice, I love turning Desert Ironwood, I like the shape on your pen.
