Nice looking pen and beautiful finish. Does the CA/Teak oil differ much from the Ca/BLo finish?

 

[ldb2000]

It's about the same except the Teak oil don't seem to darken light woods as much as BLO .

Thanks for all the kind words .
I like the teak oil over just plain BLO it seems to penetrate the hard woods better and don't darken the light woods as much .

Where did you get the Teak oil? The pen is beautiful. Who sells the Pacifica kit?

Hi Cindy
The teak oil I use is "Watco Teak oil Finish" there is no "Teak oil" in it , it's just a name given to this type of Penetrating oil , mainly because it is used extensively in the boat industry for finishing the Teak on boats which is a very hard dense wood . It is made of mostly linseed oil and various other chemicals which allow it to penetrate and dry in the surface of the wood , not on it . The Pacificas come from Jimmy at www.woodpenpro.com . He has several different styles including the new "Fish" and "Poker" styles . His prices are great and his shipping is fantastic , He is in Hawaii and I get stuff faster from him then I get from PSI who is only a few hundred miles away , go figure .
Hope this helps .
