When the lathe calls at 3am. You're guaranteed to get the first cup of coffee.

Nice job on the pen!

 

[Polemos213]

Thank you for the kind words.

Looks great, well done.

I don't think I have heard the call quite that early. A couple of nice pens!

 

[magpens]

Very nice work on those pens !!!!!

Is that Thuya Burl on one of them ?

 

[Bob in SF]

Beautiful!

 

[Polemos213]

Yes. It's Thuya Burl and the other is buckeye Burl. I love the Red in it that buckeye releases when their is an infection present. CA finish on the Buckeye and lacquer finish on the Thuya.

My favorite pen the Majestic Squire with a favorite wood Thuya Burl. Two beautiful pens. I've found i have severe allergies to the Thuya. One smell and I am fighting a sinus headache for the next 8 hours.

What laqure do you use? How many coats?

I use pre-cat lacquer by Mohawk. Here in California you need to be a licenced contractor to purchase it. I pick it up by the gallon and spray it through an hvlp unit. 3 coats, sanding between coats. Final coat sand with micro mesh. I also use a pre-cat cab acrylic and spar varnish.

Very nice looking pen!

The finish on your burl woods is exquisite. You make the detail drop into 3 dimensions. What a gift. The return on your commitment is our envy and respect. One of a kind each piece.

Majestic Squire is probably my favorite pen. They both look fantastic .

Just noticed the other pen is not buckeye burl. Lol. Its box elder burl. Thanks for nit scolding me on my short comings.
