    Default Bubinga

    With a Sierra Click. Finished with 10 coats of Med CA, wet sanded 600 thru 1500, polished with Hut Plastic Polish and applied two protective coats of Brazilian Carnauba.
    As always comments and suggestions welcome.
    Thanks for looking.

    A very nice looking pen, Les. I see you are using a bit more CA these days. What are your thoughts regarding CA vs WOP? Inquiring minds would like to know.
    When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.

    I have done a few with CA to see how they will stand up against the Minwax Poly.

    Thumbs up

    Interesting way to finish another wonderful pen.

    How do you intend to test and measure the relative merits of each finish?
