I am fairly new to penturning and so far all of my attempts to use ebony have failed. I have had cracking in the CA finish and wood splitting when pressing the pens together. I have had the blanks explode (fly apart) on the lathe, good reason for safety glasses. I always keep my tools sharp, but so far I haven't had any luck. I am currently using Gaboon I got at Woodcraft, buy one get two free. Any tips or tricks? What am I missing?
