Great pen. I think a lighter background would have helped the picture.

Is that a green cartridge?? Sure would like to see a better picture. Any chance of reshooting it???

Hmmm, it looks like you used the bushing as a centerband. I didn't intend that, but if you like the look, good for you. It appears you also picked a different material for the upper barrel (the pic doesn't look like lignum vitae). Just out of curiosity, what is it?

Regards,
Eric

Oops! Sorry Eric - I initially used the bushing for what you intended and it was a great help.
Her indoors liked it left on the pen and she has to be obeyed! I agree with the bushing taken away it does improve the look. I did use the Lignum Vitae that you included and it must be the photograph which does not do it justice! My friends all like it and I am very proud of it!
Once again many thanks
David

Thats a whole lot better. That is one sharp looking pen. Great idea Eric and the wood goes with it well. You did that kit justice and surely make someone very happy.

Photo Tip- Crop the pic so its just pen unless the background has some part in the picture. Or zoom in on pen so its all pen no background.
