I scored a piece of Picana negra a while back. Might have been Black Dog in their odd & ends box. Research says it's related to bocote. Sanded down to 600 grit and is very smooth; seems to be dense. Question: what would you use to finish? Have CA and friction polish- both DIY and Shellawax. Need to wipe with acetone but doesn't feel oily? Thanks.
 
With wooden pens, I pretty much use Doctor's Woodshop Pens Plus exclusively. It is basically a hard wax finish but is extremely durable. My everyday use pen I turned years ago shows little to no wear to the finish, just some dents/dings from being used daily. Pens Plus will give you a very durable finish that last years and still looks like and feels like wood.
 
STB, thanks, may need add that to the arsenal but in a time constraint as I want to put this pen on display Friday.
Edit: Woodcraft shows four types. What do you use? Gloss? Have a demo at Woodcraft this Saturday. Get a bottle then and delay the display later.
