I spent months practicing, developing techniques and choosing materials to perfect this process. I noticed that there wasn’t a good book on the process so I decided to share my experience and wrote the book “Mastering the CA Finish”.

Ken, one of the books readers, made some excellent antler pens using the process.

I wanted to provide an unusual setting so I came up with a curved laminate of Wenge and maple. It was made as three pieces laid up and clamped in a form. The slot was cut on a router while the laminate was in the form.

The rest was modelled using sketchup to get pleasing proportions and accurate dimensions for the radius and slot.
