Welcome to the forum. Not sure on the answer to your question for the finish for your pens might be better to post that question in one of these sub topics.

G'day Shepherdman and welcome to the cubby!
Lots of opinions about the best finish for pens, but a good job with CA and BLO is my pick.

Welcome to the forum. As suggested have a look in the pen turning interest group for lots of info. Personally I use shellawax finish and enjoy the patina that develops with use although I respect those that like the shiny and durable CA finish.
