Not because it turned out so good, but because I was able to control my temper applying the CA finish and not throw it against the wall:D

First time ive ever done a true full on CA finish...I usually just use it as a sealer.

I always love your photos and the call looks great. I've never tried a CA finish myself, not sure if I could stand the fumes.:eek:

I love your photo!

I think your finish looks just fine. I do CA all the time on pens, I think you'll find it quite durable. For some CA takes some experimenting to get it right. Many different techniques to try.

If you lived nearby, I'd love to show you. (If find that to be the best way to learn it.)

Ken,
I know others have said this before but I really like looking at your posts because of the amazing photography not to mention your great turnings. Both are inspirational to me.
