Haven't figured out how to put anything really dramatic, shape-wise, onto a Baron...but I will work on it.
Here's my personal experience scale on various finish techniques (just MHO)...on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being best in terms of shine and durability, and where a = easy, b = moderate, and c = difficult to apply/achieve:
- CA finish = 10c
- The one described above = 7a
- Friction Polish= 1a
- Normal Beall buff (with Carnauba wax) = 3a
- Spray on lacquer = 6b
- Dipped lacquer = 5b
And yes, I've settled in on this finishing process for all my wood pens, stabilized and not.
