I am looking for advice, and here is the right place to find it.
First, let me say that every pen I have completed has been finished with CA; and I love the results. I know that there are others who object to the 'plastic' look of CA finished pens, and that is certainly OK.
I have been given some wood that has historical significance. While I may finish one of the pens with CA, I would like the wood to be the 'story' of this pen, not a mirror finish. I would like to hear from you regarding finishes that let the wood speak, not the finish. (I hope you understand what I am trying to say.) The pen will be likely handled, used and appreciated.
Your thoughts on an appropriate finish? Suggestions as to how to accomplish it?
Thank you so very much.
