All pens that are built in our shop are sanded in 6 steps from 180 grit to 600 grit, leaving a fine, smooth surface.  They are then finished with one of the following:

CA (plastic): Ten to fifteen coats of CA are applied to give it a high gloss finish.  It is then wet-sanded in 6 additional steps to 12,000 grit, then buffed to a brilliant shine.

Polyurethane: Numerous thin coats of polyurethane are applied and then high-speed buffed to provide a high sheen.

Friction Polish: A combination of shellac and wax are applied on the lathe at high speed.  The heat generated from the friction fuses the polish into the wood.  This finish leaves a natural feel to the wood while also provided a nice shine.
