Hi!!
These are the first pens I turned.
The woods are jacarandá-marrom (brown rosewood), jacarandá-caviúna (Brazilian rosewood), pau-sangue (a species of bloodwood), cedro-rosa (Spanish cedar), nó de sequoia (redwood burl), and sucupira. Five of them are Brazilian woods (except redwood burl).
Finishing was 6-7 coats of cianoacrylate (except for the redwood pen) and carnaúba wax. I do not have the micro mesh yet...
I had some difficulty to make the ends, close to the bushings, and I know it is necessary to improve the finishing. But I am satisfied with this initial experience.
Cheers!
