Hello All -
http://www.resorg.com/Website/graphics/ebay/images/Cambodia-Paduk-Burl.jpg
Let me first introduce myself, My name is Rob Cepek and I'm from Brooklyn, Ohio. I'm good friends with someone you all know, John Hart... About 2 Months ago John Gave me a lathe to play with and ever since then this new pen turning thing has turned me into an addict, can we say P.T.A. (Pen Turners Anonymous) "My name is Rob and I'm a pen turner". Okay anywho this is about my 15th pen I made and I have to say that I'm very impressed with it so far, I love this wood and the finish cam out very nice. I Sanded this pen to 2500 and then applied three coats of a CA/BLO finish to it. followed by a nice coat of RenWax. The picture does not give the pen justice, It has a nice shine but not a high gloss to it (I think I like it this way) I'm interested in what everyone else thinks as this will be my first pen posted for critiquing? Let err rip folks!!
