John those are great looking pens. I'm sure your Wife's co-workers will be happy to receive the pens.
CA finish methods vary with almost every user. Personally, if finishing with CA I like to use BLO with thin CA and just CA when using the medium CA and don't sand until all is done. I've gotten to where I do 10 coats with thin and 10 with medium and no accelerator at any time unless I'm in a real big hurry to finish. I also find that allowing the blank to "dry" overnight before starting to sand makes for a much better finish.

Thanks Glen, that's another method I'll have a go at.
Anyone use the gel CA. I'm thinking it might not be as messy aka gluing my dang fingers together?
