Hi, I made my first bullet pen today :-) Although I polished with Brasso, I am sure it will eventually tarnish/discolour :-( Is it possible/worthwhile applying a finish that keeps the shine? I read about 'Everbrite' but it is American and is it suitable? Advice please would be great :-) TIA...

Our local pub has been undergoing a superb restoration including the fitting of oak panelling and a lot of bespoke oak furniture. I managed to scrounge a few off cuts and have made a few pens out of it, including a fountain pen for the owner. I won't bore you with pictures of all of them but...
