Yet another Jr Gent set, this time in Santos Rosewood

[billyb_imp]

My final pair of Jr Gents for the weekend, this time in Santos Rosewood. They were completed yesterday afternoon in somewhat of a hurry.

There I was carefully taking my time when Margaret asked (decreed) that I should hurry up and stop playing sheds (making pens), make us each a sandwich and get changed ready to go and meet some friends down the pub.

So having completed the turning & sanding of the fountain pen, I quickly got to a stage where I could leave it for a while (wax applied but not buffed) and went to make the sandwiches.

I returned to buff up the pen about 15 minutes later and got a new bit of blue paper out to buff up, when it occurred to me that I should already have blue paper out and it would have the remnants of the friction polish on it, no paper, so no friction polish applied.

So, I buffed up the waxed pen, then cut it back again, applied the friction polish, re-applied the wax and buffed up again.

Why does Margaret ask me to do more than one thing at once, she knows it doesn't work I am a mere man. :nonono:

Any way in the end the pens turned out ok, well I am happy with them

Another nice set of pens, I do like the JG it's just a shame about the threads.

Quality does seem to be a bit of an issue, these had to be cleaned up quite a lot glue all over the place although luckily not on the polished parts that you see

I often have a problem doing just the one thing at once
