What is the most durable finish to put on a wood blank to get a more natural appearance. Sometimes c/a is just too shiny.
I would question whether using CA without polishing to a gloss would result in patchy areas of gloss as the user continues to handle (rub) the pen.

Larry,
In the original post of those two pens in the link, I mentioned that I went up to 12000 on both pens, and then for the non-shine - I backed down to the 3200 or 3600 until I got the dull finish that I wanted.
I have to admit I got a chuckle when you explained what you did, but I intend to try that. I tried your bushingless idea and it can really save the day. But first I'm going to try using Waterlox -- the idea fascinates me.
