I am a beginner woodturner. I have only been turning for about a year. I just recently tried making some pens. Everybody loves them! I even made a couple for some friends, however I used a friction polish which looked great when new, but after a month or so it starting to wear. The pens look dull. It happened with all but the one I made out of walnut. Is this normal? I even tried multiple coats but I makes no difference on the life. Is there something better?
