Hello,
I've been considering adding my own threads to some of the pens I make. My question is about the materials used. Are there favorite materials to use for the blanks? Or maybe I should ask what the best materials are for the wear and tear of the threads.

Thanks

I agree with Carl that alumilite and ebonite are the easiest materials to thread. If I were starting I would start with alumilite. It's available in a greater variety of blanks and it has no odor.
