About two months ago I turned a dozen teacher's pens, bloodwood for the red tip, mun ebony for the black, variety of light woods in between. They looked great, all pretty and shiny, until every last *&^%$#@ one of the ebony tips split.
Any suggestions for proper finish for ebony to prevent cracking? I used the Myland's finish and carnuba and was happy with the luster.
Alternatively, any suggestions for a dark wood that will give a nice appearance for the black tip? (And yes, I can now disassemble a pen in under 30 seconds!!)
Thanks for looking and any suggestions.
