After doing a number of Barons and not being thrilled with the quality of the plastic threads and having to glue parts on all of them, I made the change over to the Jr. Gentleman pens. I like them much better than the Baron as they are a bit larger at the tip and they have the metal threads vs. the plastic threads of the Baron. I completed my first 2 using cocobolo with one in Black Titanium and the other in Rhodium. Since we have been so stinking hot here in So. California this past week at 100+ degrees and got up to 110 degrees today, I haven't been able to do much turning and I was not about to set up the light tent out in the garage where I normally do it. So the photos are just quickies using a grey t-shirt on the bed with the ceiling fan lights along with a desk lamp for lights. I used "Picassa" to crop and edit the lighting and sharpness. I think I should have not done the sharpening as it makes the wood look a bit grainy and funky. Oh well, it's not great, but much better than my basic windows photo editing.
Finish is CA then buffed with Tripoli and White Diamond. I will be delivering these to a friend tomorrow.
