Thanks for the compliments everyone. I guess it wasn't my first attempt at the CA finish but it was my second. The first one failed miserably when the paper towel fibers stuck in the thick CA I was trying to use. I went back to Mylands Friction polish for finishing some slim lines and researched further. For my second attempt and first successful attempt I used the method by the one and only Grub32 of applying the thin CA while the lathe is spinning and hitting it with Accelerator. I was a bit apprehensive at first because of watching so many different ways of applying CA. Do I use BLO, no BLO, Thick, Thin, in between, Fast, Slow, off, you name it. I thought that his method looked like a good quick way so that is what I did and I'm impressed. I did two more pens and had the same results except for one of them is cracking because the wood probably wasn't dry enough and is still changing.
