If you're finding the finish wavy, try getting light on the barrel from several angles while finishing. At all times, really. And wipe the wet medium CA a few times. With practice you can watch the ripples disappear. The finish looks right in line with what you'd expect from a quality pen in the picture, and you may be magnifying very minor issues. Also, don't be scared to build up more coats of medium than necessary and using coarse MicroMesh to smooth it down and build up a new layer on a MUCH smoother surface. These are the things that happened to work in getting rid of bad, bad ripples in my early CA finish. Hope they help some.
