The background is so busy it's near impossible to see well eough to give you an opinion. A word to all who post pics. If you just want to show off, the extensive Photoshpping and busy backgrounds are fine. If you want opinions, the simpler the picture the better.

I agree with Lou, but from what I can tell, I like it. Now make a bunch of them and powder coat them differently. []

G'Day Tom l also like it mate' looks like you had a bit of fun making it. l also agree with Lou and Billy maybe you could take another photo with out a background

I like it! Only problem with them as well as most metal pens are that people assume a machine made them. Hard to picture someone turning it by hand.

Looks like the lower bead is a little larger than the one on the upper half.

Hard to see from the pic, but it looks good from what I can tell. What are you using as a tool?

Nicely shaped Tom. If left unprotected aluminum and brass will oxidize with fingerprints. It may not be so much of a problem if they're kept waxed and polished though.

Hey! where'd the shell go?[]
Now try more light, natural if possible.
Was this done on a wood or metal cutting lathe?

I used a skew and a gouge on a wood lathe. Steel wool to polish.
