Can anyone see a reason for the pen manufacturers not to make carbon tubes for the inside of blanks, instead of brass tubes? Brass is a metal, which expands when heated. It gets heated from turning friction transmitted thru the wood from using steel tools to shape it, correct?
By expanding, I believe brass causes many blow outs which could be prevented by the use of carbon tubes, instead of brass.
Does any of this make sense to anyone, or am I just rambling?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
