Three Sierras by Badger

[badger]

I tried the Sierra for the first time tonight. A very simple pen to make, almost too simple. It feels nice and balanced though, and I think they look nice. Also, my photos are getting better, comments on photos would be appreciated.

They are good looking pens. However, the finidh is too dull for my tastes. How did you finish them?

I sand down to 600, and then do a finish of three coats of CA and Walnut Oil applied via generic brand paper towel.

Very nice. I think they look great. I am partial to a more natural look, like you have.

Nice selection of pens. The finish accents the grain.

Badger, lovely looking pens, usually pens finished the way you have will develop a natural, beautiful shiny patina with use. Most people who don't realize that may say the pen is looking "grubby" after a couple of months, BUT, continued use brings out that beautiful patina I mentioned. In fact, just using a wax and or oil allows for a better patina. Just my 2 cents worth, Amos
