Intrigued by Russ Fairfield's article about how unfinished pens become better over time due to natural oils...I took an experiment (probably have been done by others so I won't claim this idea)...after cutting and drilling my blanks, I soaked them for days in Watco Danish oil. After turning I apply sanding sealer.
Question is...What is the best final coat choice after sanding?
I finished one pen (a mesquite Baron) but since I cannot use lacquer (assuming I read Russ's article right), I just used Mylands friction polish on it.
BTW, I really like how the "bare" wood looked after sanding with just the sanding sealer on it...though technically it is not bare anymore.
