Okay Guys and Gals -
Here is my latest creation, a Red Box Elder Cigar Pen with Chrome fittings (all Berea). When I first looked at the blank I said "hmm looks nice", then when I started to drill it for tubes red and brown dust wood chips came out. I said "oh boy this is going to be pretty"
Steps to produce
1.) glued up the tubes with thin CA
2.) rounded it down (round nose scraper)
3.) sanded it with 120, 220, 320, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, Brown
paper bag.
4.) thick CA followed by BLO
5.) repeat step 4 3 times
6.) Hut wax (2-step)
7.) Buffed it out (Tripoli, White, Red)
8.) one coat of r-wax
9.) Asked John Hart to photgraph (he's got a nice photo booth)
Overall I really think this pen came out nice. comment are welcomed
