While olive oil may look good on the wood, but it will go rancid. Any oil will be a porous finish and attract dirt from our hands. Try BLO with CA.

Not yet... But with my salad tonight... :drink:
I've used Walnut Oil, Danish Oil and Mineral oil - all with and without paste wax. I like the finish, but it wears off quickly. I still like the sheen sometimes, so it comes down to what you want it to look like in 6 months. I don'e sell, so others will probably say that for sales, a more permanent sheen is needed.
Have fun!

I just use sanding sealer & friction polish on my olive wood pens.

I knew an old spoon maker who boiled his spoons in olive oil for a while to give them a durable life. Never had a complaint about bad flavors coming from the spoons in years of use.
I doubt that will work well for a pen, so more conventional surface treatments are likely to work. Olive oil is not a "drying oil".
