Well, when my fiance found and old belt of mine,the light bulb went off!! Perfect time to try a leather pen. I don't know if it's leather anymore. I think it is just CA. I cut 1"x1" squares. Started with CA on one then, applied to another and so on. Saturated it over and over with thin CA. Drilled hole for tube. That actually went pretty easy. I started turning down. Once round, I would stop and pull off lathe, saturate with thin CA again. This went on until I finished shaping. Sanded 320-600. Applied 5 coats of thin CA, 10 coats of Medium, 3 more coats of thin CA. I wanted tomake sure I didn't have any voids because of the leather being so pourous. FINALLY! Sand 600, wet MM to 12k, Hut and Ren to top it off.
This was actually fun because I really didn't have any idea if I was even close to getting it right!!
