Hi All
I am a new member and I am based beside loch lomond in Scotland. I have recently taken up woodturning(about two years ago) and I am slowly moving more into penturning. I have been browsing the site for a short while and have already picked up a few very welcome tips.
These pens are from my first attempt at pen making some months ago. the were originally finished with friction polish. However they have been in daily use and are were starting to look grubby.
I stripped the top one down and tried a CA finish for the first time. The bottom one goes back into the workshop tomorrow. They are both made from the same wood so they are a good contrast between the finishes.
I hope to learn more and turn out some better pens in the future
