Hi all,
I made a couple of Panche pens,and these are my first experience with caps that screw on.The instructions point out that there are 3 entry points when screwing on the cap,and that if the grain pattern does not line up,then try another entry point.
I took great care in getting them made so the grains match....but it only works in that exact place.
That's such a hassle.I think every time I try,I always have to retry again,sometimes takes 2 tries.
Being new to this style of pen,are all the threaded cap pens like this?
Looks like a good candidate for a burled wood.........but I like spalted
woods the best,and like the grains to always match up.Why wouldn't they just make one entry point to simplify things?
Thanks for any thoughts,
Steve
