Pens Ive done over the last week, #10 through #14. Xmas presents to family mostly. Although not the best Im very proud of them. Much better than my starter slimlines with blah wood and FP.

I would love to hear comments/critiques good or bad. My photography is not the best....however its something I will work on in the future.

All pens are a CA finish with the exception of the last one which is just WS/MM. There are two burls on a Sierra, an unknown on a Euro (can you identify?? darker than yellowheart bought from a store with exotic woods) , an IBO on a Sierra (exoticblanks) and the acrylic on a retro.

Thanks for looking :)

That's a great set of pens. Your photography is not bad either. One thing I would recommend is that you do some photo processing to set the background more consistently. Here is a tutorial by IAP member Neal Addy that really helped me with this:
