Great video! Thanks to you I am also using this technique on my pens now! Used to use only ca glue and HUT polish, now I added Yorkshire Grit Microfine in between (Ack's unfortunately not available in South Africa) and it's amazing what difference the microfine paste does!

I agree PhilipJ, the microfine paste removes all the scratches and gives a great looking finish. Thanks for watching.

Nice video, great looking pen!

I agree, though it could also be quarter sawn Mahogany. They look very similar

Cool, thank you. It is a nice looking wood.

When you wet sand the wood blanks, how do you keep the water from soaking into the ends of the finished wood? Very well done instructions, thanks.

The CA glue will form a tight seal around the bushings keeping the water out. Thanks Aaron and thanks for watching.

Super-helpful video - haven't turned a pen in a decade, but i'm about to get back into it. Thanks for the tutorial!

Great Video! But i have one question: How do you remove the finished peices from your mandrel? Didn´t they stick to the bushings? I ask because i want to try out that type of finish myself, and here in germany, we can hardly get any non-sticking bushings. Have a nice day :)

@MadNerdWorkshop

They stick a little, but quickly separate. I have the non-stick bushings and I never use them. The CA builds up under the ends and requires a good amount of sanding to get them smooth. I just use the metal bushings.

Leopardwood I believe

Thanks Ron, I wish I knew what kind of wood that is, it came in a pack of 12 assorted hardwood pen blanks. It is nice looking. If anyone knows what type of wood that is, please leave a comment below.

Thanks Jack. The one I used in the video is called Driven and I purchased it at a boat show. However, I found another one that is just as good, and about half the price, you can find it here: Star brite Premium Marine Polish: amzn.to/3bzmj9X​ Thanks for watching

Great tutorial and step-by-step process on how to. That said, not all of us have a lathe with a speed control, so trying to follow your guidance will require changing the belt on the pulleys. Not really practical for this process. Can we just keep in at a low speed until it's time to sand at which time we can crank up the rpms? Cheers!

You absolutely can do that. You can even sand at slower speeds, it will just take a little longer.

what grit do you start at to start sanding the ca

Absolutely loved this video - following your advice which was brilliantly presented and so easy to follow, I have made my first pen using CA. It was made from gnarly elm and I used gold leaf to fill the pores of the wood. Delighted at the result but it was your instruction that made it possible :)
