Mangrove Cedar Cigar

Very difficult to photograph the subtle figure and shimmer this timber has, so it does look better in the hand as you turn it in the light.

Here is a comparison of different lighting. 1st pic is ambient lighting taken outside in the shade beside my shed. 2nd one is my LED lights.
Which do you like better ?

Very nice pen. I like the 2nd pictures.

Looks like a nice, natural finish. How was it finished please?

Beautiful Pen. 2'nd pictures are nicer IMO.

Good looking pen, love the finish ...

That's a sharp looking pen. I like the first photo best in terms of composition, lighting of the metal parts, and visibility of the wood grain. I like the fourth photo best for it's perspective and showing the finish.

Thanks Jim. Is it the 2nd picture in post #2 that you like, the one with LED lighting ? I guess I should have numbered each photo.

Thanks Tony. The finish is BSI Super Gold Thin CA. 5 or 6 coats to get the thickness I need. Its high gloss, the diffused LED lighting doesn't show the gloss very well.

Thanks for your insight Eric. As I said to Tony, the diffused lighting I use doesn't show the finish very well, but I can control the highlights on the metal better. I like that first photo as well.

I like the outside one. I like to see the shine of the finish.
