The pearl adds a bit of whimy to this Indian Rosewood pen. The intricate finial allows this pen to be used as a beautiful hair stick as well.
Once turned and sanded, I apply 2 coats of General Finish Wood Turners' Finish while on the lathe, and then knock down any raised grain. I then continue to build up the finish, using up to 10 coats, and polishing up to 12000 grit between coats.
