I have been given to understand (by a multitude of different woodworking books and articles) that an end grain to end grain joint is the weakest possible joint. How does that apply to smaller objects like segmented pens? I assume that in the usual pen design that the tube is providing significant structural strength.
But, what if I'm making a dip pen or some other design that doesn't contain a tube? Will an end grain to end grain joint be strong enough to hold up in those cases?
