OK so well i finally got to finishing my pens, just decided to ca them instead of enduro. cuz it take so long. I fixed my ca line problem... i found out that it i just sand it lengthwise with 600 grit then the deep lines go away and it looked crystal perfect... first is my blue and white cast that i did a couple weeks ago. second is a curly purple heart finished with 2 dips of enduro.. probably should have done ca because it has grain that shows.... didnt really like the shine on this one.. btw curly purpleheart= $1blank from gilmer's pen blank barrel.. great find for me. third is a lava flow aa with A. Blackwood ends because todd blew the end up on it.. so i thought it would look good if i did it to the opposite end of the blank. 4th pen is un stabilized redwood burl from the $1 bin at gilmer's, put enduro on it.. it shows the flaws.. i hate the finish it got on it. 5th is a green rhino plastic blank ( whatever it is called) that turned out pretty good. not a fan of glitter but it looks cool. 6th is a figured pink ivory blank.. and you say again where do you get these awesome blanks.. well again it was only a buck (lol). 7th is a chrome and gunmetal sierra with that mink and green blank.. i hate the way it turned out. painted it maroon. prob should have done black. 8th is a bocote artist sketch pencil from craftsuppliesusa, ca finish turned out great... 9th is a strech atlas from ron in padauk, ron how the heck do you get this thing to work it will only go out and not retract back in.. i tried everything. ca finish.. 10th is a curly bubinga gold jr gent. 11th is a same thing only spalted a little.. can you guess which is enduro and which is ca? 12th is a macadamia nut fp for ym teach that he custom ordered. 13th is a grape lemonade aa from woddnwhimsies.. turned out great!!! Hope you guys like em. i think i already sold the purple one.. and i made it yesterday
