These are some of my newest alligator pens and an Emperor pen that I made for a doctor. All comments would be appreciated. Thanks!

Well, I don't know what happened to the pictures. They can be seen in my album, but I don't know why they won't post here. Sorry about that!

Can anyone tell me why my pictures won't post here, but will in my album? I took them straight from my album that I posted today. Please HELP!

The problem comes from the spaces in your file names. If you get rid of those and upload again, you'll be good to go.

I looked at your album and I'm really liking the alligator bone. It really has some good color. How hard is it to get a hold of alligator bone? I don't think there is to many of those running around. Really, really nice. I like them a lot. Great combination using the hide and bone. Great job.

I have a contact that raises alligators for hunters and each year after alligator season he sells me all his heads. It takes about a year for them to be ready to make pens. I am working on heating them in a dehydrator to dry them out quicker. When I have some ready, I will sell the blanks. I will put them on here soon, I hope. I have to look to see what happened to these pics now. Thanks for the help.

You might try and edit your first post and upload the photos directly to the posting instead of uploading from your album. The file has to be below 100 kilobytes when you uplaod to the posting.

Also, put me on your list of customers for some bone. I really think it looks great and would love to get in on some of that.

I think you should do some individual photos of the hide/bone pen. I'm sure it would be destined to be shown as the Featured Pen.

Robert, according to the file properties (right clicking on the red X) there is a space between Pen and 037, and another between 037 and (Medium). This is repeated in each file name and if you examine the file name in your photo album, you'll see the spaces. Additionally, the paranteses () in the file name may be part of the culprit. Some software doesn't like "special" characters in file names and parens are considered special characters.

Now concerning the alligater bone... SWEET!!!!![^]

Sure there are, just drive on down to Florida and they have them just there by the side of the road! Well, the hard part is getting the gator! [:D]
