Turned all of these yesterday; a Cocobolo slimline for my wife's friend, a Cocobolo Jr. Gent, and a Wenge Jr. Gent. Tried buffing them with Jeweler's rouge, but the Wenge and the Cocobolo SL both didn't like it for some reason. Had to hand-sand both to fix some blurry spots in the finish. Then I threw the Wenge onto the lathe to touch it up even more. Wound up putting another coat of CA on it, and just leaving it at that coat. The Cocobolo SL was OK without the extra CA coat. The Cocobolo Jr. Gent. came out OK first try.
Comments, criticism, etc. welcome. BTW, anyone know what happened to that "anonymous pen critic?" Not that I think I'm up to that caliber yet, but...
Thanks for looking! Oh, and thanks to ILikeWood for the Cocobolo on the Jr. Gent; the sapwood really made a nice contrast. The other two blanks came from two different eBay suppliers.
