CA finish?
I've tried but can't get that good of a finish. Really I am just too darn impatient. Pens I can do. Calls...not so much.
I have started rubbing mine down with gunstock oil while on the lathe. I had been spraying them with lacquer. I like a matte finish. I really let it heat up while turning on the lathe by applying with a rag and then buffing it in.

CA takes a lot of practice. It's a lot easier to do on duck calls and pens than on pots with holes.
