Now I can fully appreciate the COW that Dario made... it is a gorgeous piece of wood, and beautifully executed.... a fine writing instrument....
HOWEVER, here in Western Maryland Dairy country we have a whole different definition for COW.... so here is my COW pen....
Chrome Plated Baron Rollerball in Decora I purchased from CSU when they ran a special... only problem is that it is only 5/8" so I have to drill it on the lathe... this stuff turns real nice... just a light touch with the skew and it comes off in ribbons.. you just need to shut down the lathe every couple of turns to clear the plastic....
Finish is just sanding to 12000MM wet, Turtle Wax Polishing Compound and Hut Plastic Polish... and of course a coat of Ren wax...
