In this thread (https://woodbarter.com/threads/figured-black-locust-pen-blanks-for-finished-pen.34555/) @barry richardson offered a box of figured black locust pen blanks in return for one completed pen.
This will go in tomorrow's mail to complete the trade. The pen is a Jr. Statesman. Barry let me practice with a melamine lacquer finish which gives a bit of a shine but not nearly as glossy as CA. The advantages, I hope, are a durable finish that feels more like wood and less like acrylic.
Thanks again, Barry, its a great bunch of pen blanks.
