Well after a thread last week on Carbon ribbon or whatever its called that little light bulb lit up yet again. So here are the results, probably the most difficult pen I've made to date and I don't think I'll be making another.
First I made a pen from a piece of gash wood that was smaller than normal. I then glued the ribbon to the pen and coated that in ca.. which coated in ca... repeat one and 2 several times. I then sanded, filled the gaps with ca, sanded, filled the gaps with ca... repeat 3 and 4 several times. Then wet and dry and finally polish... Put back on the mandrel and sand down the sharp edges, wet and dry and polish.
Ta da!
