Now that the oil has set overnight, it's time for the CA coat application.
This part is really a two-handed job, hence no still images and one quick video. You can't fool around with CA. I apply nine layers of CA and again let it rest overnight.
The CA is now wet-sanded to make it shine. The water merely keeps it from getting hot. We'll go up to 12k grit.
Sometimes at this point in the process, it goes too far and the wood gets exposed. That was the case with this pen, and I had to re-apply more coats of CA and let them rest before continuing.
Now after cleaning up the ends it's the for assembly.
