To Everything, Turn…Turn…Turn

I haven’t posted for some time as Jenn and I have had a busy summer and I haven’t been able to play with my lathe much.  I had tried to finish a pen using CA glue (Cyanoacrylate) but I wasn’t overly happy with it.  I found this spare barrel next to my lathe and decided to try again.  This time, the finish worked well.  I noticed though that, the CA finish is is VERY unforgiving.  Perhaps you can see some tool marks on this barrel.  I couldn’t see them… or feel them before finishing, but they sure jumped out through the CA.
