Teak European

Paul (Bassman00) had sent me an assorted box of blanks. This is some really nice wood. Friction polish and TSW...

I like the way the satin gold finish sets off the wood! Nice looking pen! Kirk[8D]

I love working with teak....cuts like butter. Nice work!

Nice pen! Teak has a very warm color than goes great with the gold!

Nice combination of wood and metal.

 

[jwoodwright]

Thank you all... []

I was surprised how well it turned. I belived the stories of Teak being very hard due to loaded with Silica...[:I]

John, nice work, that'a a great looking pen!

Very nice looking pen John. How many coats of each (friction Polish and TSW) did you apply?

 

[jwoodwright]

Thank you. []

I had read the post by Russ. Basically, follow the steps and it will work. Using his formula, I did step-by-step and watched the wood come alive. Finished with a coat of TSW. Followed Lou's easy directions.

It is so smooth and shiny, a joy to hold...[:I]

Great combination there John. I never thought to use satin gold with teak.

Paul (Bassman00) I appreciate the Wood you sent. This Teak Pen is the First of Many... The Gold does go well, Next I'll try a Black chrome...

Thank you all...[]
