I received a a box today from Paul Gallian and I want to thank him for the pen blanks and kits he sent - I had the day off and the postman came early so it was a very nice suprise - So, I turned several of both Cedar and Osage and sanded thru 2000 - 5-6 coats CA - Shellawax and lightly buff on the lathe - Slimline Pro Kit used and the picture were taken off my iphone but in real they turned out very nice........................
Note: I read where another pen maker uses Lacquer instead of CA - then builds on it with Mylands or shellawax or Hut with sometimes a final coat of Ren wax...........
The problem I see with that is whether the Lacquer has really cured like it should but the turners states you can move right along just like if you were using CA. I have
never tried Lacquer but ill let ya know when I try it.....................thanks Dan
