Thread: A couple from a newby

Very nice
Any chance of getting you to describe how you applied the finish in detail

That's a couple of great looking pens. The finish is flawless

There's a great tutorial by DJ in the tuitorials section on applying CA. I followed it and it works very well.

Cheers,
Dave

I agree with Dave. DJ's tutorial describes it well and there is also another one on the Timberbits site. Both done very well and they are what I used for my guidance.

Well done Dallas, nice work.

Nice looking work there Took me longer than a couple of months to attempt the CA finish hehe, looks like you are well on the way with this "addiction" we share well done . looks like a huon pine on one of them cheers ~ John

Sorry, forgot to mention the wood. Yes one is Huon Pine and the other is Camphor Laurel.

Hey Dallas, not fair!!! you are going ahead in leaps and bounds, took me 9 months I reckon before I ever got a good CA finish!
Those them there pens look great, Amos

Thanks for all that info I'll check them out., I've been using all sorts of finishes but some don't seem to last. I'll give this a try and see how I go. Sounds like I'll have to be patient reading some of the comments

Nice pens Treecycle they are awsome love the colours in them both and nice finish make me even more eager to turn my first pen

You go for it Ian. I put it off for a long time thinking it was too difficult. Made my first one and was hooked from then on. For a few dollars outlay it is great fun.

Hey Treecycle

Thanks it will be a little while until I turn my first one as I have to wait until my finger is better not quite sure how long that will be

Ian

PS really nice pens that you have thier

Yes saw your post regarding your finger. Hope it won't keep you away from the fun too much longer.

Het Treecycle

I hope it not to long so can get stuck back into learning and back on the lathe OH and my first pen cant wait

Ian

That's a couple of fine looking Writing Instruments
Fit and finish look excellent.
Well done.
