Got to spent most of the weekend in the shop turning, much to the detriment of my lawn and now really filthy truck....
This is the first from a batch where I've started using Enduro instead of CA/BLO. The CA fumes absolutely kill me and with the prospect of doing dozens of pens for the upcoming craft show season I needed something different. So far I like the Enduro, easy to apply and the finish is as good as my CA finish was. Only downside is the longer wait until done.
Unfortunately my photo setup does not do this pen justice, need to go get all the phrugal parts this week. The wood is bloodwood, MM to 12000 and finished with Enduro, buffed and waxed. I've been experimenting with MMing the final finish vs tripoli, white diamond and wax. This one did not get MM on the final finish coat.
Thanks for looking.
