    1. Jnr Gent Fountain Pen - Black Ti - Buckeye Burl - i love this stuff

    2. Jnr Gent Fountain Pen - Rhodium - Home Brew - looks like molten metal

    both came up really good, very happy

    thanks

    MIK

    I love both of them, but the buckeye is sensational! Remarkable finish you've managed and your presentation is outstanding. Well done.
    When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.

    thanks for the replies

    the finsh on the buckeye burl is 4 coats medium CA, 6 coats of thin CA, buffed on a rag wheel with Suttons white buffing compound

    the resin is micro mesh to 12000, then buffed as above
