I have been using the blo/ca finish for a couple of months and really like it, but, I have one pen made from old Osage Orange that has developed a crack all the way around the lower barrel about an inch above the nib. This pen is only 3 days old and has been in my display case. Could the wood be expanding/contracting after cutting or could this be a problem in the finish technique? The crack only appears to be in the ca and not a fracture of the wood.
