Here are the pens i did in between both explodingand non exploding bowls. I like the imperial and jr statesmen pens, but not the americana gold rolerball, the black part scratches real easy, the rodium ones were fine as they don`t have the black on them. theres bermuda cedar, walnut, olivewood, black ash, boxelder and buckeye.

I used ca, 1 coat thin, 1 coat thick, a few i had to add a little extra as i sanded through it, then a coat of turners polish from LV, having a little trouble getting the ca smooth to eliminate some sanding, some went on real nice others were a pain.Originally Posted by Ken Fitzgerald

Very nice work John! Makes me wonder what with the 3 bowls and all these pens - did you get any sleep on your vacation?
