Keith,
I'd also be interested in how you finished this pen. I've added the Micro Mesh pads to my toolbox for finishing wood blanks, but not sure what I should look to for finishing the man-made materials, or at least this one in particular.
Nice looking pen Keith. I'm not personally a big "pink" fan other than during BC month - but you did that proud!!!
Can't speak as to how Keith finished his pen of course, but we use micro mesh on acrylic, tru-stone, lucite, bakelite and basically most all man-made materials we turn. We follow micro-mesh up using the Novus polishes and then a coat of ren-wax.
Using this method we have had virtually NO problems getting a GORGEOUS shine out of any of them.
Hope this helps.
Mrs.
