Applying CA on pen while turning before finishing

a recent issue of Woodturning Design had a write up about doing a nice CA finish. (I think the article was about a batch of pens Barry Gross made for the VP – if that helps with the searching), and that the CA finish was about as durable as you could get. I think the wax paper further simplifies the process.. Nice tip.

Great tip. I am putting together my next podcast on pen turning and was going to devote quite a bit of time to the finishing. I have used CA finishes but not wax paper. I will try this out and add it to the mix for the next podcast. Great tip!
