Thank you for your kind words! Bruce -I've struggled with positioning special features of a pen as well. I finally decided to place the featured side of a pen at 90-degrees such that it shows when lying on a desk. FYI, a couple of folks PM'd me asking about my CA finish technique. That's easy, I rarely use CA as a finish. I'm a lacquer guy. I'm not looking for that 1" deep look, but just a protective and well-polished surface.
