A buddy had a birthday the other day, I did not KNOW it was his birthday, well I knew, but I did not remember. My wife reminded me about it the day AFTER his birthday :doh: :rolleyes: :D

Oh well, I made him this pen..........

it is the same wood, Tochi, as the bowl the pen is sitting in. I got some nice curl in this piece, I think he will like it.

I tried a different finish on this one, I put two coats of sanding sealer on, then a bout 10 or 15 coats of Melamine Lacquer, all hand rubbed, then sanded and waxed.


LV Fat cigar pen, upgrade gold.

Cheers!
 
Well Stuart, just for a quicky pen, you did a wonderful job, and about thinking on someones birthday, better late than never, I think this pen is a great gift. :thumb:
 
That's a beautiful pen, Stu!:thumb: 10 or 15 coats of Laquer and you call it a QUICKY??!!!:rofl::rofl:
Wait a minute, why am I laughing? Now I have some idea of what you may be expecting of the pen I'm making for you!!:eek::eek::wave:
 
Looks real good, Stu. :thumb: Have you tried a CA finish? Talk about a quickie...much faster than 15 coats of lacquer. :)
