Having a hell of a time trying to figure out how to get anything onto this site. I know its just me, but it seems its set up for the more experienced........ aw well never mind........The pen ? its a custom, made out of a kit (we call them flat tops )using Orange boxwood, an inland Qld. timber and finished with Shellawax..good aussie product...This is a great place to be part of and I am learning a lot including about computers as well. All the best from Queensland Aust. .with thanks........Cj .............

Nice job.I like the smoothe lines in a traditional pen.
(could you try adding another picture with the pen separated?I'd like to see the transmission assembly)
I know what you mean about posting pics,but I finally figured out how to at least get them posted.Quality is another thing.
What I do is after I decide which picture( I normally take a dozen) I want to post,I delelte all others from my computer.
I right click on the picture.
At teh bottom I hit "properties"
Click "resize"
When you go to resize,click "advanced"
I check the boxes that say "resize originals don't make copies."
"Make pictures smaller not bigger"
I use the medium setting or sometimes small depending on how the original was shot.
Hope this helps.

That is a fine looking pen, CJ. I like the tapered lower barrel. It is good to see yet another Australian pen turner here. Welcome!
