Ok guys,here is my first thread and my first pen to show.It isn't my first pen,i still need to take pictures the first few and they are going back on the lathe for refinishing,but it is one of my first ones.It is also one of my first pictures with my new camera,so the pics aren't great,but get better later.
Wood is Spalted Beech that came from a tree that had a bee hive in it.Kit was a Blk Ti. slimline with no center band.I am really pleased with the way it turned out as it was probably the 5th pen i made,didnt use the center band, and my first closed end.The finish doesn't look high gloss but it is,I just didn't have my lighting set up well enough to show the gloss.6-8 coats of medium CA,all the micro mesh,novus 2,and finished with Renwax.
Comments welcome.
More to come later.
