Hey guys,
I figured I would show you my first attempt at pen turning. This was one of the "trimline" pen kits from Penn State, and one of their cocobolo blanks.
Haven't done any experimenting with CA finishes yet, since there is some history of sensitivity to the stuff in the family. This was finished with a 1:1:1 shellac, denatured alcohol, BLO mix. After doing some research, I'm considering trying the lacquer and lacquer thinner instead of shellac and alcohol.
Only thing I still need to figure out is which finish goes with what wood. And how to take better pictures.
