Any tricks in dissembling an emperor?
Not a good way to start a post.
Looks like I need to sand, stabilize and refinish this puppy.
First the small “dull wet spots†on the emperor I did the other day are growing…
But now I see small cracks going around the pen. A couple on the top and two or three on the bottom. They look like I took a razor and cut straight across. One is just about ¾ way around the pen. Is Amboyna Burl a “cracking†wood ?
I can knock the cap/clip and the end cap off ok, but im a bit leary of trying to get the plastic center band coupler out. And not sure about the nib coupler.
I have an extra set of tubes so if worst comes to worst I can cut off the tube to get to the fittings. Do you think I can tape the fittings and refinish that way.
Any thoughts, tips or suggestions......
First things first…where’s my bottle of Capt Morgan.
