A blue dyed cobra satin silver cigar, a copper baron amboyna burl and a blackwood black TN American screw cap. Still working on better photos...new camera on order. Comments or suggestions welcome. Thanks for looking, Rob

Nice work, Rob. I love Amboyna burl!

 

[Kaspar]

Amboyna is glorious. Very nice all around. One question though: why dye a snakeskin at all?

 

[Skye]

Best cobra I've seen yet. Undyed they're somewhat decayed looking.

Amboyna looks like it has some sanding lines near the start of the nib. Copper kit looks much better than I would have imagined with that wood.

Very Impressive Rob well done mate []

All are nice but amboyna is my fav of the lot.

Is the cigar/snake a bit proud at lower side nib end or just the pics?

They all look awesome!

Thanks all. Skye, the Baron is my wife's pen. Just took it out of her purse and looked. No sanding marks, bad photo, some sort of artifact. Dario, same for the cigar, looks fine "in person". That said, I truly appreciate that sort of comment since it makes me look at the finished item again with a more critical eye. While I don't aspire to be "perfect" at this, I do aspire to compete with some of the masters and masterpieces I've seen on this site and others. New camera arrived today. Need to put away my skew and figure out how to take some better photos. Thanks again for looking and helping. Rob
