Had a good time in the garage.
Managed to get 3 pens turned and finished. Using 3 different woods that I have never used before. The Padauk and Indian Rosewood was really nice to turn. The Mesquite was a bit more difficult and I found a couple of holes which I filled with Aluminium Powder and CA.


1. Padauk, kindly donated by Doug. Penkit - Euro Chrome. Finish CA, Micromesh and Mer Wax.

2. Mesquite with some Aluminium. Penkit -JR Gent Chrome. Finish CA, Micromesh and Mer Wax.

3. Indian Rosewood, Penkit -JR Gent Gold. Finish CA, Micromesh and Mer Wax.

3 lovely pens there Rowdy. For someone who doesn't particularly like euro's I'm finding myself saying more and more that they're nice and yours is no exception.
