Sorry I haven't been reading alot lately, been busy.
Anyhow, What I usually do to finish my pens is sand from 120 grit through 1000 or higher depending on how detailed the grain is that I want to show, then 000 and 0000 steel wool,2 to 6 coats of sanding sealer, tung oil or danish oil; EEE polish, 2 to 4 coats friction polish, and finish it out with renasance wax. By the time I do all this, I have a nice glass finish that really shines.
On occasion, I'll also use pumice and rotten stone mixed with linseed oil to bring out a really deep grain, but this usually takes an additional hour or so.
Let me know what you think, I'll also post some pictures of the pens I've done recently later on today when I get home.
