I made a Jr. Gent II from ebony (actually, segmented with acrylic). It's finished with CA, and this is one of my favorite pens. But I keep reading about ebony cracking, like it's a foregone conclusion it will.
I made it in December. Since then, it's been subjected to temperatures ranging from room to pretty cold (maybe not quite freezing). It has also spent time in a range of humidities, moving from the mid-Atlantic coast to the mountains of New Mexico and back, experiencing everything in between on the way.
What I want to believe is that if the pen can go through all of this without cracking, it's not going to crack. Is this reasonable, or just wishful thinking?
