Project Information
It was too hot in the barn for working so I rolled out my new lathe stand turned 5 pens out on the east side of the barn later when the sun went way west!.
Two are African Blackwood, two are Mesquite and one is Olive wood.They are finished with EEE and Shellawax.
The new Delrin bushings I made worked real good in that they never turned the wood black like the brass ones did when I hit them with EEE . However, the ends crush a bit from the pressure needed to turn the blanks so I need to make a good supply of them.
I found some real nice pen gift boxes from a place called Amsterdam so I bought a bunch and they will be given with each pens sold.
cheers, Jim
