Thanks John ...............not sure about that having seen many other things created out of Huon Burl n birdseye.

I wasn't keen on he photo result using that background so I made an improvised photo tent out of A4 paper and took a few more pics.

Two beauties there Wheelin, that birdseye Huon always looks great on a pen and you've done yourself proud

Nice work mate. I love Huon. It is a buttery rich timber and nice to work with. I might try the brush on Min Wax when I have a few dollars spare. Do you get streaks from the brush? Also, why do you sand between coats?

They look Really nice. Well Done

Thanks Greg.

Greg the 250ml tin is about $9 not to exy and unless it goes off its going to last while on pen use alone.

Sanding between coats is adhesion Greg gives grip to the next coat also in this weather 8C in the shed I am finding little bubbles, now I am not sure if this is caused by the temp. brush and its a very fine one, the Polly or the timber as it didn't happen so much on the Huon. On the Wenge one its been ARPIA. I sand using 1200 wet. Brushing along the length and hand turning the mandrel.

Well done on making the pens.
