Emperor with inalys

[cueman]

I just finished this Emperor with inlays. I am new to photography, so the pictures could be better, but I am experimenting with lighting some to try and get better quality pictures. I enjoy seeing so many great pens here and it seems like most of you are part time photographers. I know one thing for sure,I have alot to learn about taking pictures .

I've been watching for this since you posted the blank and it has done what I hoped it would! In my eyes you have created what will be the "best" segmented or inlayed Emperor for a long time. The reason I say this is because the design resembles a wood or bamboo structure in the orient.
Whonderful job on this pen!!

Fantastic Pen Douglas. The pen as a whole came out wonderful.

Go ahead and mark me down as very impressed. Great work. The part that impresses me more than the pen itself is the fact that your equipment is made with a variety of mismatched stuff held together with worm gear clamps.

The pen looks great, inlays are fantastic. But IMO the background is so busy that it detracts from your masterpiece

 

[JimGo]

That's very impressive...GREAT job!

Why not just edit the first post and reload the picture??

nice work

Looks good but the busy background made me dizzy.
A closer close-up with plain backgound would be a better shot. Looks like you did fine work on that Emp.

Wonderfull looking pen, great job on the inlay.
Sure would be nice to see a bigger pic []

Thanks for all the kind words and criticism, I am truly flattered. I did not know that I could edit the post and reinsert the photo, still learning. Thanks. Here is another picture that is a little less busy. Comments are welcome.

Douglas, I'm not sure I can say anything that hasn't been said already but that is a fantastic looking pen. I even like it better having seen your initial setup prior to the finished project. How do I get on your christmas list? [8D] Wonderful looking pen, i really like it.

 

[MikeHelvey]

Yes, fantastic pen! So, what's your method for the inlay?

Beautiful job! That should bring top dollar if you choose to sell it.
