Hey guys, its been over a year but I just turned a pen out of wood I got from a tree I took down out back. Its Oak with an ebony band (ok I didn't grow the ebony) the tree was 200 years old. Got hit by lightning... don't worry, most of the wood is set aside for furniture, but some pieces just weren't for furniture.
I finish with CA and then friction polish. While on the lathe the pen has a super shine, but after a few minutes of holding it in my hand the finish always dulls a little. Any advice? I just tell people its a satin finish, but its killing me.
