Sierra`s x 4

[Ligget]

Hi, done some Sierra pens, real easy to do!
First one is Coffee Tree Burl with chrome plating, finished with Enduro.

Next up is another Coffee Tree Burl but with satin pearl plating (my daughters choice), Enduro finish.

Third Sierra is stabilised Quilted Poplar dyed blue, chrome plating, Enduro finish.

Last but not least is Chechen Burl, chrome plating, Enduro finish.

Comments welcome, thanks for looking!
Cheers
Mark

Excellent work Mark, your daughters choice is good i really like the satin against that blank.
I see you are finishing most of your pens with Enduro now, i am the same as you, it is good stuff[]

I'm waiting for Mikey to put the enduro GB together; those pens look real sharp.
Especially, the satin selected by your daughter. [8D]

Nice set of pens

I, too, will only use enduro from now on. Takes a bit longer than CA, but it's so much easier to get a nice finish. Plus, it isn't so plasic looking as CA tends to look. JMHO

Hi Andrew, after spending ages getting my CA finishing technique down to a fine art, I am getting annoyed with people not believing it is wood under the finish "it doesn`t feel like wood". So Enduro it is from now on![]

Fine work indeed Mark. I also like the coffee tree burl best! That Enduro finish is very good stuff judging by the finish you are getting.

(PS - Top of the World - Carpenters! Classic!![}])

John - here is a link to where I get mine from, it tells you what Enduro is and how to apply it.

There is also a group buy running in this forum you may want to get involved in.

I cannot for the life of me rmember where I bought the Coffee Tree Burl, I have only the one blank that I used for the two Sierras, I am thinking it was a freebie with an order.[]
