You could use the wood dust itself by turning it then filling the voids with CA and then using 220 grit paper on it as it spins. I do this all the time.

I turned a couple of pens with jarrah and they turned out great. I filled the voids with CA until completely full and completed the projects with a good CA finish. have heard nothing but good comments on the two pens. I will get pictures and post them soon.

I do both of the above mentioned methods or we have a variety of ground stone and brass. I fill the voids with the powder then let thin CA run into the void to fill it up. Sometimes if you put the CA straight on the filling it will run out of the void, so let it wick in.

Try filling the voids with black CA.

Worthless Wood cast before you turn. Looks like the perfect candidate.

Go to your local key cutter and get the brass shavings. look like gold when finished.

Hi Dario, I think I've read you mention black CA before. When I first read it, I tried in vain to source some. Is this something you stain or dye first or could you point me in the direction of a supplier please?

Many thanks

Steven,
Don't know if he ships internationally, but Manny has the black Ca and less expensive too.

Yes, cheaper. Good idea.

Thanks for the links guys. I guess I'll be contacting Manny soon

One last stupid question[:I] Does the black rubberized CA polish up?

Thanks again
