A Slim Line Pen Variation Today

[Whaler]

This is turned from Olive Wood with an Ebony finial and finished with Myland's sanding sealer and Hut's crystal coat.

Two views of the same pen.

Definitly different How did you do the finial? I just got done getting 24 sets of blanks ready for turning today.

Nice pen Dick!

Another winner Dick. Have you used MyLand's Friction Polish? If so - how does the HUT FP compare?

[mater]

Very nice Dick. It looks great.

I am new at turning finials but here is how I do it.

I start with a pen blank, in this case, between centers. I then round it and size one end to fit the hole it will go into.




It is now rough turned and ready for parting off.




Installed in the collet chuck for final turning and finishing.




The finished Ebony finial. This one is 1/2" tall.

I use both Hut and Mylands. I like them both and don't realy have a favorite. I think that the Hut may give a little softer looking finish.

Thx Dick. I have the MyLands and was curious if I was missing out on something. :~)
