This Red Fir Bark Slimline was made for one of the fellows at our Woodcraft store. His 'click' pen was self-ejecting the click
mechanism and his pen was a little shabby looking so I started this Friday as a gift for him.
Bored some bark to get rings and trued them on the disk sander and then glued the rings together with Loctite Sumo. I then stabilized the bark and filled all the beetle holes with coffee grounds and CA.
Once turned I then brought my dipping rack into the house Saturday afternoon and finished with 6 dips one hour apart of Waterborne Enduro.
Polished out with 6000 - 12000 and then Brasso at 6am this morning.
The pen is resting on one of the bark rings and you can see what the beetle holes look like that I fill.
I'm sorry for the poor photo but it was shot freehand at the store as they were closing and the flash was putting spots on the pen.
