I've often wondered about the effects on a pen body where aluminum, brass, or other thin metal strips were used in a segmented pen body. I've somewhat been reluctant to get too deep into this area because of my concern that the body segments will become rough-edged as the wood shrinks with age possibly leaving the metal piece exposed above the surface of the wood.
Does anyone have a pen body that has been used for a number of years that can describe the feel? Has the metal edge become slightly exposed?
I know this concern shouldn't exist for acrylic segments. However, there's enough interest in using wood that I thought someone could offer observations.
