Sorry Ian, not my favourite combination of woods that, nicely turned tho.

Thats a nice combination and the presentation is excellent, I see what you and others mean about being less busy focuses the eye more on the pen.

I can see some marks on the black acrylic, did you wet micro mesh it?

Looks ok, but not your best finish I have seen.

There is circular marks around the acrylic end that need further polishing out, but t looks good, but sorry its not as good as your previous work..

With each grade of Micro mesh, finish with the lathe off and use the micromesh along the length. The same as you would with the grain on wood ...

Micro mesh is to expensive why pay all that when wet & dry is a fraction of the price and dose the job just as well

 

[Buckeye]

Micro mesh isn't expensive, unless you buy from TR, but it is handier than W&D as it is easier to see which grade you are using, by the colour if you use the MM pads, also I could never find the whole range of W&D in the same place.
