A Perfect Fit BP pen in curly maple with a bloodwood centre band.
Finished with 7 coats of 4 hr. dry poly applied over 3 days.
Mack, the fit and finish are flawless! It looks great, the lower knot on the nib barrel is a little smaller to match the smaller diameter of that barrel, the center band puts it all together! What are you using for glue on these knots?
Mack, the fit and finish are flawless! It looks great,Hi Jonathon; Both knots start life the same size. As I turn down to the smaller dia. of the nib barrel, that's the consequence.the lower knot on the nib barrel is a little smaller to match the smaller diameter of that barrel,That's exactly the outcome I was hoping for!the center band puts it all together!I used thick CA since the knot is a 3 part sandwich of guitar pick guard (.090 in. th.) and I wasn't certain if a wood glue would hold everything together.What are you using for glue on these knots?
Hi Larry; No cheque would ever be required!hey mac could you give us a tutorial on how to do the celtic knots that your using for these pens? the check is in the mail
Hi Brent; There's a trick to it. Don't use woods. The sandwich is actually pickguard borrowed from guitar makers. It's a plastic material they use.It's tough to keep the those darker woods from bleeding into the maple.
