Great pen. That wood is very interesting, I don't think I have seen that effect before.

Very nice piece of wood there. Nice job on the finish as well.

Nicely figured?!? That is an understatement. I am just glad that blank wound up in your hands and not some yahoo, wood butcher. Great job, great finish. Do you normally just go with 6 coats of thin?

Very nice work!

Very nice pen work! That piece of cocobolo is quite unusual. You've done a great job with it all!

Speaking on behalf of all yahoos and wood butchers, I wish that blank had wound up in my hands...

Beautiful pen!

I dare say if you stay a yahoo or wood butcher and are on the IAP for a while it is your own fault. Too much great info here to remain at step one long. :wink::biggrin:

hewunch: Since I switched to just straight ca(omitted the BLO) 6 or 7 coats is about all I ever use..I sand it down pretty aggressivly afterwards with the 1500 mm and have yet to sand through the finish. Sanding through was a regular occurance for me when I did the ca/blo.

 

[hewunch]

You apply it with?

Now that is a lovely pen, the finish is awesome, amazing piece of wood!

same for me (as in sanding pretty aggressively with 1500), though I've yet to be brave enough to stop at 6 or 7 coats, I usually go to about 12.

hewunch..I just apply it with a folded up paper towel, then tear off the part with ca after each application
