Below is generally how I roll for wood pens.


1. Sand to 600 then burnish with shavings

2.. Sanding Sealer then cut back if necessary  before applying a coat of friction polish.

3. Either CA or Melamine laquer 6 to 8 coats

4. Micro mesh to 12000

5. Crystalline wax top coat

6. Pray bushings have not welded themselves to the blank!😆
