Walnut

[PenCasso]

My son asked for an overly size pen.

Turned out very nice!

Side note:

I took a pen turning class yesterday and throughly enjoyed it and learned a lot.

That's a fatty! I'll bet he'll love it.

Beautiful piece of walnut. Claro walnut?

That walnut is really beautiful and your workmanship looks really good !

I like the high gloss.

Do you mind telling what finish you used on the pen, please . . . .

I'm not sure, I found a 5 ft slap at a antique store for $35 and bought it...

I did a friction finish. Made my own, found the ingredients online.

1/3 boiled linseed oil 1/3 shellac 1/3 denatured alcohol
