The Statesman family

[darbytee]

I've had these kits for a while but have been hesitant to use them because I was waiting for the "right piece of wood". Statesman in green stabilized BEB (from AS) and Jr Statesman 2 in non-stabilized non-dyed BEB. Finished with Enduro and ren wax. Thanks for looking.

PS. I don't know why I'm still getting the "yellowing" in my pictures. Any of you photography gurus got any suggestions? Photos taken with a light tent, two halogen lights, macro mode with a tripod. Thanks.

Great looking pair. I prefer the green though.

Did you set your white balance on your camera for the proper lighting?

Beauty Pens!!!

I love the look you gave them..


Check your white balance for shooting, it will make a huge difference

The pens look very nice. What kind of lights are you using for your photos? It looks like regular incandescent which has a yellow cast. GE Reveal bulbs are much closer to the color of daylight.

Boy I love the Green BEB! Great job on the pens.

My thought also. I don't know what color halogen lights are, suspect very close to incandescent. Go with Reveals, bit longer exposure time but better color balance.

Fred,they look super, love that enduro finish.

See if your camera has a "White Balance" setting. Try different settings until you find the one that reduces the yellow indoors and remember it. When I found that in my camera, it was like magic for my photos. Mine doesn't remember the setting, so I have to do it everytime but the difference is like night and day.

Fred, Ab-so-lute-ly beautiful. Glad to see that you have the Enduro finish down pat.

Thanks for the kind words and photography advice. I'll have to dig around for my camera's manual and see if I can figure out how to adjust the white balance. Thanks Jerry for adjusting this one for me.
