Mastering the CA finish

Posted on July 1, 2008

The CA finish is one of the most beautiful finishes that a pen turner can employ. CA finishes create a deep and durable finish that will delight the recipient of your writing instrument.

I spent months practicing, developing techniques and choosing materials to perfect this process. I noticed that there wasn’t a good book on the process so I decided to share my experience and wrote the book “Mastering the CA Finish”.

Ken, one of the books readers, made some excellent antler pens using the process.

Sweet work KEN!
