Grain matches when point is extended. Do you guys usually match the grain when retracted or extended on twisters?

I see why so many of you love this hobby. It is very relaxing!!

Well done over the tears I have always matched the grain with the nib extended and photographed the same. In handing a pen to anyone I extend the nib and suggest not to play with a pen further until I explain the way to use it. Blundering ,well meaning people sure can wreak havoc on a pen eg pulling on a pen cap rather than unscrewing etc. My two cents.

Welcome to the forum from over here.One of my family has an apartment in Vegas where they veg out from time to time in the warmth.

Welcome to IAP from Ohio.

I usually match the grain with the tip extended, but its very much a personal choice - both work.

Nice pen, have FUN.
