I think this Sedona FP is made from Spalted Myrtle forgot to look at what was written on blank before turning :sob:.
finished with Friction polish and renaissance wax.
Any help suggestions greatfully accepted.

Looks like a piece of salted elm. Did you use sealer before the friction polish? Nice pen but have to admit that I'm not a Sedona fan.

That is a lovely pen Johnny, very nice indeed :thumbs:

Neil: how much salt do you use on your salted elm? :funny:

That depends on what type of chef you are Paul.
All that is required is a pinch but defining a pinch is where it gets testicle.
Oliver has big hands and his pinch is Heston fistful but dainty ol swearalot has one of those things to do it for him, what's it called now?
I remember an assistant.
Nice pen Johnny.

Depends on whether it is Los sodium, sea salt or rock salt. Normally about the same amount as I intend to rub in the eyes of the numpty who designed the way the iPad spell checker changes everything when you're not looking.
