I finally figured out how to cut and mill the blanks to proper size.

Bocote is the other wood. Thanks for the comments. I am having lots of fun. Just got some Cigar kits, and a Chefs Special from Dario.

This is a great site. I have learned so much in a short time.

Thanks Jeff for what you have done.

Good looking pens and the photos look pretty good. The question for you is does the background match reality? If it does, I would suggest using a lighter background. If it doesn't, then you need to adjust either the f-stop or shutter speed.

I was trying to set up a light tent with PVC but ended up with some wrong fittings. Therefore, lighting was direct with no diffusion. It took me awhile to figure out my digital camera; i.e. white balance, etc. I used to take a lot of pictures with film and had a pretty good handle on technique. Now I use digital point and shoot. I ended up just throwing things together last night so I could post some pictures.

Thanks for the background suggestion, I will work on alternatives. Am going to get correct fittings for light tent today.
