I made a slimline yew wood pen last week and I applied a tripple application of Hut satin finish. (brown stick) It was all I had because my high gloss white stick had not arrived in the mail yet.
I just noticed that the finish has all but vanished today but the other dozen or so of different woods using the same finish still have a nice shine to them. It this customary for yew wood.? It is a pretty wood and turns very nicely. I want to make more of them but I would like the finish to not do a dissapearing act. Should I have used a base of CA before the Hut? Or should I scrap the Hut altogether as a finish and try using something else.
Also, I guess it's too late to revive the finish on this one now that it it is all assembled.?? I have a dissassembly tool on back order so I have yet to find out how that will work. When I get that tool, would it be possible to put those two barrels back on the lathe and try to restore the finish or would it just not be worth the bother.
