Scott Greaves, Ken Salisbury and other pen turners.
I received a pen turned out of sage in 1999 as a gift. It has a glass smooth, shiney finish. I have been using it ever since I got it and, no dull spots, no finish deterioration. Still looks like glass. I found and asked the maker, what he used for a finish and he told me, "only boiled linseed oil, ever." I think he was stretching it, to say the least. How do I get this kind of finish? Shiney as glass and has lasted over 4 years. Maybe some bowling alley or other floor type finish? Help.
Thanks in advance,
Ernie
