A Trio of Sierra's

[rhossack]

Winter is over and I can use my garage and the lathe.

This is some Sierra's that I finished with EDBLYSARDS Lacquer Dipping method.

Rhossack, a nice trio of pens you have made. As others have said what timbers have been used. I particularly like the colour of the blank on the Black Titanium Elegant Beauty, the other two blanks also compliment the platings on the Sierras used. I can't see anything wrong with the Titanium Gold with the fit, sometimes it is hard to see things at an angled perspective. Either that or Funky mate you got better 20/20 vision than me.

I do like the finish the lacquer dipping gives and respect peoples reasons for why they use it. Alas I am somewhat impatient and could not wait for it to dry. One day I will try it.

Thanks ... the pen on the left is Spalted Apple and the one on the far right is Spalted Birch, the one in the middle is Honduran Rosewood.

I just went and checked and took the pen a part and there is a dark ring of spalting all the way around the blank on the nib end and it looks like it doesn't fit correctly but it actually is flush with the metal.

I'm not patient at all. But the more I saw Ed's work the more impressed I was and decided to have a go at it.
