Beautifully executed as ever, but i'm not decided on the blanks yet. Definately different!

Very trippy too....

Hi George,

Beautifully executed as ever, but i'm not decided on the blanks yet. Definately different!

Have to agree with Oakbear on this one, ........call me old-fashioned :lol:

In no way am I detracting from the ability and skill you have demonstrated, once again!

Hi George,

fantastic work, I have a few of these blanks I got ages ago from beartoothwoods but have not had a decent kit to use them on until today.

Would it be possible to let me know your routine on these especially your finishing Method which is stunning

I hate to waste nice blanks

cheers

Hi George

Nice pens. Very nice contrast between the wood and bright colour.

 

[cornucopia]

Thank you folks

Joe- i turned them as normal then dry sanded thru to 1500 applied some lemon oil- dried it with a paper towel then applied hut plastic polish then ren wax

the chap that made the blanks adviced a method using loads of CA glue but i found it to be too much like a plastic gloss/skin

They are just wonderful. Remind me of the oil on water marble pictures i used to make as a child !

Cheers for the info George, much appreciated
