I am a new turner, and have been making some pens. I got my first batch of stabilized blanks and am ready to craft some pens with them. What should I do as far as sandpaper grits, etc. I want as shiny a finish as possible. On non-stabilized wood I have been sanding to 600 grit, then burnishing with shavings. Hut Crystal Coat next and then some wax. A satisfactory finish I believe. I bought the Hut PPP satin/gloss bars, but haven't gotten good results with that yet.
