Here's my first, Burmese Rosewood, Parker Classic Twist (that really twists) Also my first CA finish.
Picture quality could be better.

the pen looks great.

you may want to try different ways to take the picture.
from the glare on the pen it appears the flash was too close to the pen.

also might want to try a different background color.
a different color of background will cause the pen to really "pop"

Nice looking pen, I like the way you made the taper on the bottom to match the center band. I have done a lot of these pens and have just always made them with two straight barrels.

I like it, Ron, and like Paul I really like how you did the bottom barrel. This isn't my favorite kit (I just don't care for flattops), but you did it proud. Especially for your first. [^]

Standing ovation, Ron!! Count me in as liking your modification on the bottom barrel.

Be sure to save that pen!!! Some folks have given away sold or lost their first pen and were sorry for it later. Hang on to it....put it on your mantle piece or preserve it in some other way. Don't even use it yourself or you may lose it.....nice pens have a way of growing legs if you leave them laying on your desk at work!![][!]

Bingo.

The new background sure makes the pen stand out better.
you did better on this pen than i did on my first pen.

great job

[:I]I just want to set the record straight this is not my first pen. I have made some slimelines before, but this is the first one I wanted to show off.
Did not want to mislead anyone.
Thanks for all the nice coments, coming from this group it means alot.

If the twist actually works, it's a miracle! []
I like the look of the kit, but I seem to have problems getting the darn thing to actually work. I also vote thumbs up on the design, nice taper to the barrel, nice looking pen!!!
Good Job!!
