This has got your style written all over it,great! :thumbs:

What's the liberon like in comparison to Ren wax?

I have had the sticks since i started turning pens Matty, never really bothered with them until my Ren wax was nearing the bottom of the tin .. :devil:

I have used them now on a few pens and they do a good job, mat first followed by the gloss stick .. :thumbs:

Wow, that is certainly striking wood, and as usual a cracking set.
