This is a birthday present to myself :D

The wood is a stabilized dyed blue maple burl, the kit is a PSI pen/pencil kit with a gold finish. I got the wood from a my new friend chis he is a great guy.
The finish was my first CA finish but about 6 coats of it. Chris was showing me how and it started to not like me anymore so he finished it up.

Im also testing out this background i came home when i finished this pen at school and saw all the wood shavings and thought that would look really cool. so here is my vision :p

Caden asked me about CA finishes and I told him they were really not that hard to do. We did 5 coats and the blank looked great. A light shined down from heaven on it, angels were singing, and 3 wise men showed up and said it was the chosen pen. :angel::worship: Then I said," Lets do 2 more coats and call it good." That was when the pen decided to fight back. :at-wits-end: After turning it down to bare wood once, sanding it down to bare wood a second time,and sanding out one of my fingerprints a third time. Caden would not come on the same side of the shop as the pen and is not convinced that a CA finish is the impossible dream. We got the pen back to its former glory. :highfive: I hope I haven't ruined this new penturner for life.
