I like your pen colllection. Bocote is one of my favorite woods, and it looks like you did a great job on it. Search the forum for "fast image resizer" if you feel the pics are too large. One of the members here had a link to it. It works great for me.

oh and i checked the specs and these are well under 800 pixels wide so its all good

Nice work from a beginner>

A plainer background will help the photos.

thanks! yes ive been having trouble taking pics, these are the best ones i could take, but trust me, these are way better in real life!
especially the blue one, and the cocobolo one in the group pic.

btw if you can pick them out there are 2 pens in the group pic that were made from the block used as a backround in pics 2 & 3
