Not sure why the photos are so small here. They are larger in the Member Photo Album section.

Well let me be one of the first people to congradulate you because you will get alot of pats on the back for these beauties. You did an outstanding job right from the start with building the jig and tweeking it to making some very fine writing instruments. These came out great. The color of the woods make the blank pop. I am sure you learned a few things along the way and I was glad to be able to assist you whenever I could. Segmenting of a pen blank just gives that pen that extra WOW factor and will command a higher selling price. You did very well and I look forward to seeing some great looking blanks coming from this type setup. Thanks for showing. Looks like a front page pen to me.
