Sanding & Finishing
The finish makes the pen. A blank that's been turned cleanly but finished poorly looks amateur; a blank that's been turned passably but finished well looks professional. We stock the full progression of sanding and finishing supplies pen turners use: sandpaper from 150 grit up through 600, micromesh pads from 1500 through 12000 (essential for acrylic and resin), friction polishes for wood, CA glue finishing kits for the popular CA finish technique, and specialty finishing products for hybrid blanks. The right finish depends on the material — we list recommendations on each product page so you can build a finishing routine that works for the pens you actually make.
