Statesman FP

[WoodChucker]

This is a Statesman fountain pen made from brown stabilized box elder burl and finished with friction polish. Thanks for looking!

Great looking pen. Didn't know box elder had such a variety of color!

Beautiful work, R.T.! I'm with Tip, never saw such an interesting piece of box elder.

Looks great. The finish is outstanding. I like BEB. I did two browns a while back and loved the way the finished.

I like it, very interesting piece of wood. What type of friction polish did you use? I've had problems in the past with friction polish looking yellowish. Yours is crystal clear, more like a CA finish.

WOW...What a pen and what color.

Nice RT. I like that material, produces some really striking and unussual pens. You got a good one there and did a great job.

Thanks everyone, appreciate all the nice comments!

skewzdust, The friction polish come from CSUSA, it carries there name on it. I've been using it for a few months now with no problems.

Hi RT

I really like! [8)]

I have tried many finishes and always come back to friction polish - you can really feel the warmth of the wood and so can the customers.

I use HUT sticks - cream and brown - have you? and what did you think of it?

 

[jdavis]

very nice wood and pen.

Very impressive, R.T. Nice Job.

Thanks everyone!

Mic, I've not tried the Hut sticks, but I do have some of the Hut friction polish in the bottle, it's OK I guess, but I like the CSUSA a little better.

Thanks again everyone, I appreciate all the nice comments!
