Thread: Bullock Bush

That's one mean looking pen. You managed to fill all those imperfections beautifully, and captured the gloss nicely in your photos. Well done as usual.

Hey Pariss another awesome job and awesome looking pen well done mate Ian

Another great looking pen and nice choice of timber, sounds like you done a top job of holding it all together too.

Cheers
Tony.

Well done Pariss. Very stylish pen.

Another extremely nice pen

Pariss,

An exciting pen the very name conjours up memories of the old days, bullock teams, swearing, whips cracking, not surprised the timber gave you a challenge you met head on and won handsomely. Love the kit, beaut timber matched when closed grain. The finish is excellent, presented the same way to allow maximum admiration from me.

This distinctive pen, distinctive name is a keeper mate.

Kind regards Peter.

Got me wondering....have you ever measured the thickness of your CA finish?



I'm gonna go stare at that finish for awhile....and dream about not glueing my fingers together.




First rate turning you've done!

Thanks fellers for the kind remarks. Hey Scott B. No, I never have measured the CA thickness, just pretty much always apply 20 coats of thin CA. I do turn the blank down level to the bushes, then sand up to 600, which will reduce the radius about 4 or 5 thou, but the CA brings it back up to the right measurement. I just do it by eye. In my trade I deal in thousands of an inch measurements all day - every day, so you develop a bit of an eye for minute variances. Cheers.
