    Hello Toni, nice pens, by "dead finish" did you mean a "matt" or "satin" finish , that is a finish that does not shine as brightly as some other finishes? Amos

    I imagine she means "Dead Finish" as in that's the name of the wood/tree.

    Pity 'twas ruined by the application of CA! [Grins, ducks, runs...]

    Lovely to see you using the best wood there is Toni (IMHO of course). Looks great. Reckon you could easily get away without the CA though - Dead finish will hold a shine on it's own, at most a wipe of oil.

    Default Dead Finish

    The fable of dead finish I heard was out in the bush this tree is the last surviver if times get tough and you are travelling in the area without resources you have dead finish.Sure is a dense wood and polishes real well as does your pen. Peter
