This blank is a natural burl. To finish it, I sanded: 120 – 240 – 600 and then ran through the micro-mesh pads. Once glossy, I put three coats of Turner’s finish on the pen, and used the 12000 micro-mesh pad between coats. Finally I applied a liberal coat of Conservator’s wax. I am very pleased with how well it finished. It is glossy but not quite as shiny as acrylic would be. A very rich look.
