To Everything, Turn…Turn…Turn

Alan's Turning Log – Adventures in Wood Turning

I have been planning to use my last Baron fountain pen kit to replace the first fountain pen that I made in my class.  The lid keeps coming off that one and so I need a new one for the office.  I had planned to make it with an acrylic called stonewash denim, but I got carried away when turning and reduced the acrylic right down to the brass tube.  This morning I decided to use a purpleheart blank and experiment some more with Cyanoacrylate glue (superglue) as a finish.  My last experiments didn’t work out very well.

I am pleased by the finish, but would like it to be more even and with fewer blemishes.  This took most of the day.
