Seems unlikely. If even 1% of the 5.3% are woodturners and of those less than 10% actually make pens then the actual impact of pen makers is about 0.03% at an exceedingly generous estimate.


As this forum has 1773 members and only about half a dozen are even bothered enough about the issue to get involved in the discussion, perhaps less than one in a billion people gives a flying ferret one way or the other. The Chinese certainly not enough to change the tooling that is churning out imperial sized brass tubes.
