Another nice one Troy.
I actually prefer an oil and hut wax finish for my own user pen, feels better in the hand than the plasicky CA. They get better with age as well, not so with a shiny plastic finish which can only get worse.Brad.

That is a really nice pen, and in one of my favorite timbers. Too bad it smells like old dirt when you turn it.
I also agree that the natural finishes feel better, and look more like wood. But a shiny CA finish seems to sell better.
