Silky Oak Baron
One of a few Baron pens I made last week.
Shadow chrome Baron hardware from Timberbits.
Silky Oak sanded to 600, then 21 coats of thin CA, then micro mesh to polish.
Hope you like it,
Simon.

That timber just makes me want to move to AU!!!! Ya'll have the coolest wood laying around.....but I guess if you looked at it all the time, it might be considered 'standard'(I'm just telling myself that to help me feel better).
The fit-n-finish are spot on! 21 coats seems pretty extreme, but I'm guessing it'll never rub off
Scott (gotta find some of that timber) B

Hi Scott. There should be plenty of australian sellers on eBay who are willing to post overseas. The price may not make it worth it though. Simon.
