The shallow bowl is figured Maple, 9 ¼” wide, 1 5/8” tall, walls are ¼” and the base is 3/8” thick. Sanded to 600 grit, rubbed on Boiled Linseed Oil, Beall Buffed with Tripoli, White Diamond Compound and Carnauba Wax.
The two pens are Argentinan Lignum Vitae. The first is a Euro Style Black Titanium, and the second pen is a Wall Street II, Titanium Gold. Both were sanded to 600 grit, 2 coats of Mylands Cellulose Sanding Sealer sanded with 600 between coats, finished with three coats of Mylands High Build Friction Polish, sanded with 600 between coats, then the first was buffed with carnauba wax and the second got the Beall triple buffing treatment. The pens are going to be gifts to some friends that gave me a 2” X 2” X 12” stick of Lignum Vitae and the pens were made from that.
The first stopper is turned from Bocote, sanded to 600, wet sanded with BLO and 600 grit. Beall Buffed with Tripoli, White Diamond Compound and Carnauba Wax.
The second stopper is Mahogany, sanded to 600 grit, Beall Buffed with Tripoli, White Diamond Compound and Carnauba Wax
The third stopper is also Mahogany, sanded to 600 grit, 2 coats of Mylands Cellulose Sanding Sealer sanded with 600 between coats, finished with three coats of Mylands High Build Friction Polish, sanded with 600 between coats, then Beall Buffed with Tripoli, White Diamond Compound and Carnauba Wax.
All the stoppers are mounted on Ruth Niles #301 Stainless. These are my first attempts at stoppers. I think they are a little bulky. I’ll have to work on trimming them down a bit. I am experimenting with different finishes.
