Bush Custom Woodworks

I just finished this pen and pencil set in Bocote. Hopefully the grad they are intended for likes them. This is the Penn State Ind. Executive kit, the wood is Bocote sanded to 400 grit and polished to remove scratches. Four coats of homemade friction finish and a coat of hard finishing wax to help hold the shine.

I spent some time on the wood lathe lastnight. This was my firat time making an acorn box. The top is Kentucky Coffeewood the bottom is White Ash. The lid is snap fit meaning it wont fall off when treasures are placed inside. Its sanded to 400 grit then polished with Tripoli abrasive wax. For finish it got three coats of Walnut Oil and then three coats of homemade friction polish lightly sanded between each coat with 1200 grit Micro Mesh. It turned out great, I will likely make more of these.
