cooktown ironwood burl sierra
this is another from prossy weekend its a piece of cooktown ironwood burl , i got a small piece of brad ( aka ironwood ) he has only ever seen a couple of burls
so im guessing its getting close to being rocking horse @#&*
anyway finished with 2 coats of CA then a light sand with 1500 wet n dry ( wet )
then EEE then GLOW , i have found that the CA gives it a good seal without being able to chip then the EEE and GLOW
really bring out the shine

Hey Troy
Wow that's rare stuff you have there.
Beautiful fit and finish on the pen. Mirror finish - you could probably shave with it.
Thanks for sharing.
