Finish looks good . Third photo makes it look like the lower end of the cap is a bit under turned , but may just be the photo . An indentation will develop under the clip where it contacts the wood , but won`t be noticeable . The CA will harden the wood a bit . It will dent if abused , but so what . Tell your customer up front that the long term appearance of the pen is up to him . In my experience , most people who like a wood pen won`t mind if it develops a bit of added character as they use it every day .
