bit more fun in the shed

I have managed to get out into the shed a bit lately and get a few pens made so her is one of them.
It is achrome cigar made using some African Wenge that I bought from Adrian at Trend a few years back at the Newcastle www show and usual its finish using many many coat of thin CA I hope you like it ?

Cheers Ian

I'm still new to pen turning but it looks great to me!

Thanks Tony and Ala for your comments and yes Tony it is bright as it has a ton of CA on it because I couldn't get it to fill the coids in the Wenge however I was happy with the finish in the end except for a minor fault:~
But I may fix that so I can sell it:D

Cheers Ian

You got wenge voids to fill in?
Lots of effort there, I can never get all the "texture" out of it.
Nice looking pen there.

When I first saw it I thought an ebony or some other dark timber. It is very glossy finish on it. I wonder how it would look sanded to 4000 MM then buffed. experiment coming on i feel foe me. A good job with the fit, the treatment of the blank is different at the clip where it angles back, I have a gradual curve on mine. I like the look of it.
