Default Pen finish

Hi Kevin - 3 coats of Boiled Linseed Oil and superglue followed by a
top coat of TSW if you can get it (Arizona Silhouette did have some a
couple of weeks ago). If you can't get TSW, use Renaissance Wax as it
is resistant to fingerprints.

Couple of good sites for pen makers a http://www.thepenshop.net/
and the Yahoo Penmakers Forum at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/penturners/ On the Yahoo group, under
the Standard Techniques section, you will find a pdf file on the
BLO/CA finish, by Don Ward - member of the Pen Turners Guild.

I have just filmed a dvd over the weekend on pen making and following
advice from Don, I use the finish almost all of the time and the film
crew were amazed as no-one seems to use that finish over here in the
UK..

Hope it helps
