I don't post pics of all my pens but am really happy with the Rustins finish so thought I would share these ones. The Sierra is in Bull Oak, Slimline #1 Red Mallee, Slimline #2 Fiddleback River Red Gum (not great fiddleback though) and the Baron is Silver Needlewood which is an order for a client. I tried to push towards a gold kit but she wanted chrome and the customer is always right.
Cheers,

It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

The finish on those pens, and very nice pens they are, looks excellent
The more I see of the Rustins Finish, the more I want to try it.
Question, did you use the method in Froggie's instruction sheet, ie with the CA first, or did you use another method.
Rule 1, the customer is always right
Rule 2 if the customer is wrong, refer to Rule 1

Thanks Big Shed, yes Rustins finish as per Froggies instructions with CA as sealer. Four coats of Rustins with 48 hours to cure. I really can't see myself going back to CA now, a little goes a long way too. I made up another 8ml this morning and have barely used any of it after 5 pens. It's in the fridge now so might have to get a few more on the go just to use the Rustins before it goes off.
On a side note, my parents live in Rochester and I have a Gran in law in Bendigo so we usually drop in for a visit when we are down that way. My Gran used to live in Bendigo too.

Will keep you in mind when down that way next time Big Shed, where in Bendigo are you (Gran in law is in Eaglehawk).
Toni you can either shoot me a PM with your email address or go straight to the source and ask Froggie for a copy.

Thanks all,
Sam, I really do like this finish. Have another four barons and an americana that should be good to go this afternoon. Am going to look at the $2 shops to see if I can find some small glass jars for the mixed up finish as the jars I am using now are just too big for the small amount needed.
Cheers,

Corbs, I use the canisters that the film for cameras come in, just don't scratch the inside, the smooth surface makes it easy for popping any off the coating off if it dries.
