After work today I played around with some scraps and a ton of CA glue. This is what I came up with. I'm out of pen kits right now cuz I'm broke, so thisn' doesn't even have a tube, just glued a couple peices of plywood to each end and turned it between centers, no finish. The CC cocobolo cut suprisingly well with a skew. Picture this on a Statesman or something nice and big.
This cheered me up a bit after my recent failures to use CA finishing. Sooo many wasted slimlines.
Any comments are appreciated!
Oh, and note the crusted CA on my fingers... I was sanding down a blank on a horizontal belt sander when my hand slipped, jamming my index finger onto the belt and pulling it sideways. I jumped back and shook my finger before looking at it, expecting it to be sanded down to the bone. But nope, just the CA had been taken off, and a bit of fingernail.
I've lost a fingertip or two, nails, etc. it's no fun. Actually I just finished regrowing the fingernail the handheld belt sander took off, took 6 months.
Cheers guys! (I'm havin a fresh homebrew)
