I was contacted by a cabinetmaker who asked me to make him a snakewood pen. He was very specific about the kit and the blank. He also specified that I not put any finish on the pen. He intends to apply his own oil to the pen. I used Bruce Robbin's technique for turning snakewood so as to avoid cracking. I sanded to the highest grit that I have and then burnished the wood with a torn off piece from a brown paper bag. It looks like it has a finish.
