    Default Fit for Sir Winston?

    A Churchill Roller Ball Pen dressed out in White Oak Burl from Arkansas. It has been stabilized and was amazing to turn. Finished the usual way, 30 coats of CA. Comments welcome.

    G'day darren,
    You must be with the fairies after sniffing 30 coats of CA.
    But well worth it, that is a seriously nice pen.

    Great looking pen you have there.

    What an amazing finish. How long does it take you to put on 30 coats?
