coogman Posted May 14, 2011 Report Posted May 14, 2011 Just finished this pen out in the shop. The wood is Cocobolo and the finish is 3 coats of Minwax Poly. Thanks for looking Quote
WolfmoonCT Posted May 14, 2011 Report Posted May 14, 2011 That cocobolo looks nice. I've never used poly on a pen. How did you apply it? did you just wipe some on with the lathe running? Quote
wombatie Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 Lovely pen. I love dark woods and Cocobolo is one of my fav's. Well done Marg Quote
coogman Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Posted May 15, 2011 I apply the finish with a paper towel with the lathe off. Turn the lathe on and buff out with a paper towel. I do three coats. Quote
