Glorious Pen, Bill.
Love the Subtle Smooth Finish, of your Rustoleum Drip Finish, it so Compliments the Ti/Gold of the Pen.
Your Fit and Finish is Superb.
Great Photograph too.
Congratulations,
Brian.

Great job on this pen and the finish!

Thanks for the compliments. I wanted a little more subtle finish on this one, so I didn't polish the blank as much as I usually do. There is some shine there so you know there is a finish, but didn't want to overpower the finished pen. Thanks again,
Bill

Todd, this tutorial in the library by Les Elm describes the method of finishing on the lathe.
http://content.penturners.org/library/techniques/minwaxfinish.pdf
I have tried the method described in the tutorial using Enduro and the Minwax products, but I always ended up with ridges in the finish I could not sand out. I have not tried this method with the OMWB finishes, but there is no reason I see why it wouldn't work applying it on the lathe. I have found that dipping works for me in that I sand a lot less, and no ridges. Try it and let us know the results. Hope this helps,
Bill
