Thanks, Les. I've often wondered what your process was. The results speak for themselves.

Wouldn't open for me. Oh, well, my pen making days are behind me. I sold a couple thousand exotic pen blanks to a friend recently.

Thanks for the nice clear write up Les and appreciate the details of your pre-finish sanding prep. As Ted noted the results definitely speak for themselves!

Thanks for sharing this, Les. It may be a few more steps than some folks take, but the end result is worth it.

 

[Dave Hoskins]

That's interesting. Thanks, Les!!!

Saved a copy and thank you for the info. I think I would rather do it your way instead of messing with the CA glue finish.
