Yorkshire grit

[Gary Beasley]

I was working on a couple of burl slims for a workmate of my wifes and decided to try something different.
After sanding the barrels to 600 I sealed the surface with a good coat or two of thin CA and applied Yorkshire Grit paste and ran it down at 2000 rpm, then again with the Microfine paste. I was pleasantly surprised at the good shine on the CA coat without burning through it and thin enough the feel of the wood comes through. I think I have a new go to finish for quick pens.

But you should try the Hampshire Sheen on top of that. You will be amazed

Then top it off with the Greenwich Refulgence Enhancer. Simply brilliant!

And don't forget to polish it off finally with the Brooklyn Blush !

I stopped using CA and micro mesh and now I use GluBoost, 600 grit only if needed then EEE then buff with plastic polish. Same idea.

Thats a wax product and wont last too long on a pen. A bit of wax helps to add sparkle to make the sale though.
