Alright guys, I have a question regarding turning a custom finial for a kit pen. The second pen I turned, almost a year ago, was a Majestic. I used a Black and White Ebony blank. I thought it looked awesome at the time, but I had flipped one of the blanks when turning and the grain didn't line up well and I've sort of grown to not like B-W Ebony that much anymore as well. I'm planning to dismantle the pen and re-turn the pen using Amboyna Burl, or maybe even HRW (not sure just yet). And allthough the stock finial for the cap is very nice, I'm wondering if a custom finial turned from the same wood might look better. Herein lies my question. How is the stock finial on a Majestic attached and is it possible to remove it? Obviously I don't want to start "prying" at it and scratch the pen finish up so what's the best way to go about it? or is it even possible?
Thanks for the help!
