    Ha! Sorry, TwistedOak. Thanks to you, too. You were FIRST to suggest the CA finish!

    Looks beautiful. Going to do my first real rescale very soon. Just reading up on it now.

    Just my 2 cents. When I do pens, I take it down to 600 grit then apply a product called EEE-Ultrashine which you should be able to get at any good woodworking supply house. After that, I go to the final finish whatever that may be.
    The EEE is made for using on a lathe, but you should be able to use it on a felt wheel YMMV. I'd try it on a scrap piece first. The other thing you might try is what I use on pipes: jewelers rouge followed by white diamond polishing compound. Again, YMMV so experiment first.
