Snakewood Sedona

[johnny5]

I couldnt wait for TB to send the Roman Harvest that i ordered

So I had a trial run using a Sedona Fountain pen and a Snakewood blank.
In my haste i forgot to square off the blank and left a small gap at the base of the writing end what a T***
Friction polish and wax finish only, I do not like using ca glue as a finish and i heard it causes a heat reaction and splits the wood



Never mind , Learning the hard way , It wont happen again

Well done Johnny that is one very nice looking pen with a very nice finish (only a polish finish) to me that is the best finish I to dont like or use CA for a finish and never will so good for you

Shame about the gap Johnny (which I can't see on the photo) as it is a lovely looking pen !!!!

 

[Jimjam66]

Yup, that's a real bobby-dazzler!

 

[PhillH]

Yup, I like that.

I too have moved away from the CA finish and am using polish, I have a Sierra that I've been using for an everyday pen for 5 months or so and it hasn't deteriorated at all.

Well done Johnny

Very nice indeed Johnny, love the wood .. If it bothers you about the gap, then i would suggest taking it apart using transfer punches if you have some, it would be a shame not to ..

Well Done Johnny, Like Jim says it don't take much to take them apart and you could then carefully square up the end..
Anyway a brilliant pen.... Keep it up.....

Johnny, I understand the couldnt wait bit and you have done well. Then with regard to glue I find CA does not flex but poly does.

Enjoy your beaut pen.

Kind regards Peter.
