Cheers chaps. I have been playing with finishes, this is 5 coats of chestnut acrylic gloss lacquer shined with burnishing cream. It works on bowls so i thought why not pens

Bit of Thuya I forgot I even had on a black titanium Sierra I've had for ages. Forgot how nice Thuya is to turn.
Morning Brody if the voices said BUY more Thuya I would understand immediately and indeed recommend it from my observations it is an imperfect material except the very finest and requires as much filling in as an income tax form what is your experience mate.
Your absolutely superior pen is a jaw dropper and lives in my hall of fame the one I keep in the cloud that is my head before internet.
Great stimulation this pen must drag out some interesting blanks myself and give them a whorl, twist and shout.
All the very best Peter.in the depths of Winter Brrrrr.

Loved the emphasis Woody reminded me of Cleghorn Foghorn quite emphatic and I agree I say.
Regards Peter.

Blimey Mr Brody, had to put sun glasses on to get a good look at that one, just stunning

Thank you kind sir. I think the next time I do one of these finishes in the daylight I may use a welders mask to protect my retinas

Many thanks Peter that's praise indeed. I've been quite lucky with my Thuya only having to do a bit of filling. The blanks I have are from Vince at the turners workshop and really are quality. I bought them many years ago when the wood was way beyond my ability so they just sat there.
Many thanks mate, and hope all is well with you and yours
