Two New To Me Graduates

[Smitty37]

Thes are two of PSI's The Graduate. Using 7mm and 3/8th tubes and a cross refill. The first is Curly Maple just finished with all three steps PSI Liquid Finish Polish & Sealer and buffed with HUT Perfect Pen Polish.

The Second is Stablized Spalted Buckeye Burl finished with Mylands Friction Polish and buffed with HUT Perfect Pen Polish


I sort of like the way they came out although if I could see a little better I could do a better job. BTW the photo's are just scans, I needed pictures quickly.

I really like the buckeye burl pen

Buckeye burl is amazing.

They looks good for being scans especially.

The buckeye is really nice. That's not one I sent you is it?

How many coats of friction polish do you use - the mylands?

I used to scan little things that I was tossing on ebay. It worked surprisingly well. Adjust the white balance and they'd probably be pretty darn good pics.

Edited to add that the buckeye one is great.

My first guess is that it is...Mylands I usually use about 4 coats sometimes a little more seldom less.

Great Pens, Leroy,
Superb Blanks, I agree that the Buck Eye Burl is the Stand Out.
Terrific Fit and Finish.
Excellent Work.

Nice job Smitty! Both pens look super, but my favourite is also the buckeye one.

And your scans look good like a great little solution!

The BEB is truly outstanding. It deserves a prominent position in your permanent collection.

Both look Great Leroy.

I also like the Buckeye... slightly more than the maple. :redface:

Your eyesight did not hinder the turning, maybe your experience kicked in! They are well done.
