Tiger Rengas Ergonomic Dip Pen

[fingwe]

I haven't posted any of my pens for a while, but I bought some Tiger Rengas blanks from Dave Hilton ( [MENTION=216]lignaterrae[/MENTION] ) and he asked to see what it looked like when finished. So, I made this one...it's only very short, as I used a 5 inch blank, but is a very striking wood. Finished with Morrells Spray Lacquer.

That's beautiful Melanie, love that grain.

Lovely Melanie, that finish looks stunning. I was having a poke around the Morrells site and they seem to over a vast range of finish options in different sheen levels. Which one did you use there?

What a lovely timber, and a super finish too

Thanks everyone!

Greg, that was the 90% gloss. Dries really quickly and is easy to apply. I've been searching for a decent finish which isn't a huge pain to apply (bear in mind I have to do my finishing in two halves - hold the tail and coat the head, then hold the head and coat the tail, etc) and this one so far has the best finish to least effort ratio!

Exquisite. The usual high standard we have come to expect from your work Mel.
