    Question Just a few questions about WoP and Pen Finishes

    I have a small pecan platter that I am in the process of applying several coats of 100% Pure Tung Oil to and was thinking about finishing it off with a WoP.
    1. Would this be a good idea?
    2. Is WoP food safe? Planned on it being a small Cookie platter

    Pens.
    I recently purchased a Mandrel and Slim Line pen kits. I went out and made up some blanks today using various woods (Black Walnut, Pecan, Spalted Oak, Black Willow Burl).....only wasted 2 brass tubes..... For a finish I was thinking of sanding to 600 and then applying several coats of Med Thick CA and then running up my Micro Mesh for a solid gloss finish.
    3. Is this a good way to finish pens?
    4. Should I Wax it when done or cover w/ some other product to protect the CA Finish?
    5. I also have a Plastic Polish for my Corian...can/should I use that on the CA for a smoother finish?

    Just waiting for my Mandrel Saver and or Live Center to be able to turn the pens.

    6. Why is it when you have a part coming but it is an extra or not needed right away it is there the next day but when you need it they eat up the entire 10 business day window?

    Thanks,
    Chris

    Will post pics when all is said and done
