1st acrylic
Pat, that a very nice pen..great fit and finish. I went from strictly wood to trying acrylics about 2 years ago. I prefer acrylics as there's not nearly the problems with finishing different woods, such as dry woods compared to oily woods. And dealing with ca losing it's shelf life and different issues with either accelerants or blo not reacting consistently and different temperatures, humidity..so on so forth..I love making perfectly finished, sweet lifetime pens that don't have the issues that wood pens have. That being said, I love wood grains and some of the most beautiful pens I've ever seen are wood. Perhaps I'm saying I'm too lazy to fight through these problems everytime I make a high-end pen. Maybe I just need to learn a whole lot more...if you have any issues with acrylics, let me know and I'll do what I can to help you...George
