I use a BLO/CA finish on my pens. I’ve been carrying around that last segmented pen I made and haven’t noticed any change really in the finish. I’m really happy with how it comes out.

the process I learned from can be found here. click the “video #2” link when you get there.

Thanks for the link Grumpy. Great video of this fellows process.

good to hear from you grumpy…good finish for a pen…for my vases and bowls I prefer a lacquer finish that dries fast and can be buffed and polished in the same day…getting ready for a show of my ringmaster vases etc..have 80 pieces sitting on our dinning room table ready to be priced etc…I’,m in a small town in the western mountains of north carolina…this show just outside the town brings in 23,000 in two days!!!! will send you pictures of what getting ready for this show looks like…...............................total whatever!!! kineo
