Had time for another one

[Ron Mc]

I had time to play with a design that consists of Bloodwood, ebony, birdseye maple and pink ivory.
Nickle Baron kit.
As always comments or concerns welcome.

Looks nice Ron. Do you ever have trouble with colors bleeding during sanding?

 

[Ron Mc]

Coach,
When I sand a blank like this one I will actually apply sanding sealer in between sand paper grits starting at about 800. I have found that this will remove any dust from the pours and prevent contrasting colors from bleeding into it's neighboring wood.
This method has worked extremely well for me so I continue using it.
I'm off to hack up a golf course today with some contractors so have a great day.

Wow- That one is awesome, Ron. I love the design and you pulled it off really well. I'm gonna have to try one like that.

Congratulations Ron, that's a sweet looking pen! I'm really getting tempted to try a lamination after all your pens!

Very nice Ron I am not a huge lamination fan, but this one really works.
