I wouldn’t anything or something that would make them shine
They are very beautiful. You could try a limited number is all finishes you like. Once I bought my husband such a pen at a craft fare. These are a good thing to make.
I wouldn't stain them. The natural wood has so much character. I'd just finish and let each one be unique.
Stain will protect them from oil on a person's hands. The pens are lovely!
You could try a .CA finish which show the grain.
