I always wanted to try this, Woodcraft has Argentine Lignum Vitae on sale this month at 50% off. Even at that it's the most I ever paid for a 3"x24" board. It is very heavy but drilled and turned pretty easily. I used carbide to get close then finished with a skew. I then dry sanded with micro mesh finally burnishing with a cloth. For no finish the pen is extremely smooth, almost feels like a plastic. The smell is very nice, almost a flowery perfume smell. That was one of the reasons I didn't put any other finish on.
