JR Gent Pen & Keyring Set (Cocobola)

[rowdyyates115]

Got going with the Cocobola for my first time - lovely wood.
Turned up on a Chrome JR Rollerball Kit and finished the set off with a matching Keyring from same blank.
Finished with CA x 10, TCut and Mer Wax.




Thoughts !

Rowdy, Good use of Cocobolo the three items make wonderful gifts sales or individual pieces. Word of warning with Cocobolo and I used some this morning it has a wild history of sensitising nasal passages.

Kind regards Peter.

Nice set for sure, lovely piece of wood done justice, I really like Cocobolo, my only gripe with it is the slight oily wood makes it difficult to get a friction polish finish.

Maybe that's me being dense and not doing it right though, but CA works fabulously with it.

Put a friction polish finish on the ca not the wood init?
Lovely set Rowdy well done mate.

Never had a problem with a friction polish finish on an oily wood.

Some use a wipe over with a bit of white spirit, never done that though.
