Latest Burl pens

Afternoon all, Been busy on the lathe, here's my latest group of pens. Voids (of which there were many) filled with a mix of ground coffee, sawdust and thin CA. Wood sanded to 240, application of Yorkshire grit and polished on wheel. Didn't want a high gloss, just some protection from handling...

Congratulations Chris, this is stunning!

The steel sleeve for the section is a great idea and something I had not considered.

Was the Yorkshire Grit and buffing the end of your finishing process?

Bravo!!

Thank you for the compliments - and so sorry for the late reply. Only just 'discovered' the post.
