Yes, CA glue is used as a finish. It's hard and durable. Here's a tutorial Les Elm wrote about doing a CA finish. I think you can tell by his work that he knows a thing or two about making and finishing pens.

Like most things in woodworking, there are a lot of methods for applying CA as a finish, but Les' approach is a good starting point. In my experience, there are times when you're using CA finish that you're certain you've ruined the pen, but after it all gets sanded and polished, it can be a beautiful finish.
