A cigar for me

[penodr]

I decided that I needed a new pen and finished this one up with my first CA finish. It turned out good, now I just need to work on a better picture taking setup.

Nice pen, the wood grain looks great and the gloss looks very good.
The picture just needs the lighting evened out, it needs more light on the dark side of the pen. Placing a white paper over that side will bounce some of the flash into the dark section, or you could also set up a second light over there. You might also want to pick a background with a little more contrast than the pen, that will help the pen jump off the page.
I like that pen!

I agree that the pen looks great, but you need to pick a background that shows it off better.

l also agree with Brad and Eric its the background thats needs a fix up []

Dave,

Nice selection of the blank. What wood is that?

Nice looking pen. I like the grain in the wood, ditto what Bob asked.

Great looking pen! I like the red accent of the pliers handle[] (I think that's what that is[^])

You are correct !!!!! You are the winner of a free bag of misc pen turning shavings! LOL

As for the type of wood I think it is Bocote, I would have to check my list at home to be sure.

And I would agree to it as being Bocote.
