Wood Segemented Blanks a Friend sent me

[jjjaworski]

These are made using some segmented wood blanks a friend sent me. I finally used some and put these together.

I used several coats of WaterLox as a finish since I was too lazy to do a CA finish.

Nice and a very nice friend.

We could all use friends like that. Nice!

I really like when the blanks were turned down to a smaller size. But the larger size does show off the quilting on the maple....


Cool friend!!!

All are beautiful, but I especially like the Sierras.

Beautiful pens! I'm a big fan of Waterlox-I installed alder butcherblock countertops in our kitchen and finished with 5 coats of Waterlox Original. Stinks to high heaven for a few days, but a pretty bombproof finish. How long did you go between coats, and did you sand in between?

I have to agree that it does have a nasty odor. I was putting that finish on something else and just gave the pen barrels a shot as long as I was using it since it takes so very little.

I did a light scuff with 1200 between coats. It was a week or more between coats and I did this in my garage at the end of the day so i did not have to be out there working and smell the stuff.

You have a fantastic group of pens, your friend may have made the blanks but you turned them in to works of art.
