It does look better in the flesh. I found it easier than regular oak to be honest.
Finish is as I use on all my wood pens.
Sanded to 12000 dry, then 2 coats of super thin CA, and 3 of thin. Once dried (don't like activator so I use a paint stripper heat gun) I sand wet to 12000 grit. Then finish with 3 coats of microcrystalline wax

[QUOTE="ajmw89, post: 123683, member: 724"] It does look better in the flesh. I found it easier than regular oak to be honest. Finish is as I use on all my wood pens.
