This is the "green dragon" blank from Beartooth, but out of 5 blanks, this was the only one that looked this good. I can't believe I pulled off an Emperor with this slender blank (was less than 3/4").

Congratulations on pulling off an Emp with such a small blank.
BTW, the combination of the pen and the background makes me dizzy.

I agree, the image of the pen and the background take away from the pen.
Nice work on getting that blank size on an Emp. The Emp needs a straight body to allow the clip to look right and also function properly.
I drill on the lathe and I can get a CSUSA celluloid 5/8 on a Jr Gent V II, try that one eh..[

[]Just my opinion, I like a blank on the Emp that is more conservative or has strong vertical characteristics that support the visual of the hardware and does not compete with it, you did a great job, but not my first choice for a blank, but that just my thoughts...still a very nice pen[]
I have sold a fair number of Emp's, what sells most for me are amboyna burl, Gaboon ebony, Aternative Ivory (CSUSA) Berea Black AA 25 acrylic and Trustone, Blue Lapis, Red Jasper and White Web

Nice pen. What's it sitting on? Looks like an enormous banana pudding with burned merangue topping. []

Call me crazy, but I actually like this photo! []
To me this pen is busy enough to separate itself from the burl background
and the blank is strong enough to overcome the gold hardware.
I hope your market agrees and it finds a home quickly. []

Nice work to get the pen made. I find the background too fussy and I agree with Jim - th blank IMHO is too fussy for the kit.[][8D]

Lol, it is a mallee burl cap (bark side).
Well, so far nearly everyone has commented more on the background than the pen, so I'll take that as a hint to use a more subtle background, lol.
Thanks for the comments, all!
