    Default A Few Pens

    Hi,

    Got some shed time. Made a few pens. Twist pen wrapped in Hairy Oak. JR Gent Fountain pen wrapped in Hairy Oak. 2 JR Gent roller ball wrapped in Beefwood. Finished with micromesh, EEE cream and Shellawax. Had a few problems but overall they turned out ok.

    Thanks for looking.

    Todd

    I really like these. For the finish, you just sanded then micro mesh straight away, to 12,000? Then after that the EEE and shellawax?

    I like that it is not super shiny. I would like to try one without CA and yours give a nice looking result. Simon

    Todd, nice looking pens, have you ever tried Shellawax Glow, gives a great natural finish. Amos
