I have noticed that very few pens are turned from Wenge. Aside from it's relatively coarse grain and texture, does this wood have any other disadvantages?
Thanks,

... My biggest problem is that I don't know how to pronounce Wenge. Is it Wengy? or Wenj? or Wenjy? I dunno.
It is a nice looking wood, IMO.

MYlands sealer,polish and Carnuba wax can be used to give any degree of "finish" shine you want.Originally posted by woodscavenger
<br />So what do you use for a simple more natural finish? Is there something that is quick and simple that doesn't take multiple coats and lots of time?
