I have a deadline and I'm not going to meet it. I am doing a Majestic set in Chechen Burl. Its not stabilized, just 7/8 blanks I got from Exotic Blanks. They have been really great in helping get me everything FAST! Wonderful group. BUT......I am doing a CA finish. Because it isnt stabilized. Maybe I picked the wrong wood or wrong method. After I apply the CA I try to take the bushings off. The end of the blank tears off! The letter opener was fine....but the pens...NO! I tried applying a finish coat, then taking the bushings off , one piece worked one did not!
SO.......how can I NOT break the ends OR is there a better finish than CA that would show the qualities of the wood? I order more blanks so Its not too late to do another finish.
If I can get a good finish that is durable using something other than CA , I would be willing to do it!
