Folks:

Help!  I have two self bows that I really would like to write some information on but cannot find a pen whose ink holds.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Anything would help so...Thanks in advance!!!

I use a sharpie,but I do the writing before I put the tru oil on,I have put it on first and then I just buff it down with steel wool and do the writing and seal back over it.Just rub light with the first coat and then just go on as you normally wood.It will seal the wighting in.Hope that helps.
By the way I use the fine sharpie,just a preference. :)

Some of the paint style pens should write over the top of tru-oil. You can get them at Hobby Lobby and similar craft stores. Would for sure tru-oil over the top after it drys to protect the ink.

Hillbilly:
Yeah, paint markers work well over about anything, and you can get them in different colors. Wallyworld usually has them, too.

I like a sharpie but found on Tru-Oil, if it is not well cured it will clog up the pen point. What I have started doing is spray the spot with poly and let it cure first them write on it. I then add another coat or 2 of Tru-Oil over the writing.
  I have just recently started playing around with India ink and a dip pen. Eventually I will make a quill pen. India ink will stick to anything...almost!     Pat
