New Baron Pens

[Dawson]

I turned my first Baron Pens this weekend. They were also my first "commissioned" pens if I can count a request from my son to make a couple of pens for him to give his bosses at work.
I count it a blessing for your son to ask you to make something for him to share with his comtemporaties.

Nice pens! What finish did you use?

 

[Dawson]

The finish is micromesh all the way to 12000 plus HUT Crystal Clear friction wax. I am working my way up to CA and BOL finish. Hopefully Santa will bring me a buffing wheel!

They look very nice.

Interesting shape.

I'd suggest starting out with plain CA finish. Get the hang of that, then move to CA+BLO. I think until you know how CA behaves, you dont want to introduce another item into the mix. Once you get the CA down, you arent going to need a buffing wheel.
