it's a cool wet day so decided to make a couple manattan pens for co workers. wasn't able to get these done in time so it will be a late gift. got the kits from a rockler sale awhile back. wood is black and white ebony also from the same sale. finish is my now go to 6 coats of gloss lacquer wet sanded with micro mesh followed up with plastic polish.

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.

Sleek looking pens! Not at all greasy like I'd expect for a Manhattan adman!

Beware, by the time you gift these (Jan 2?), the recipients will be a bit sore and may have already booby-trapped your desk!
thanks splint. yeah im afraid you may be right. i get the feeling they dont wanna wait one more year ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Well done buddy!ย  Love the "timber", as our down under brothers would say......
That goes well with the kit you selected, which is one of my favorites, btw....

The green's proof to Mokey I know how to plastic.

ย finish is my now go to 6 coats of gloss lacquer wet sanded with micro mesh followed up with plastic polish.ย 
And you poo-pooed my 20 coats of CA.... I could probably lay down 200 layers in the time it took 6 layers of lacquer to apply/dry.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
