Those all look pretty good. I like the birch and buckeye burl the best. The picture looks to be a bit out of focus, are you using a tripod or hand-holding the shot? What is the finish?

 

[tetrault]

Yep, handheld camera. The finish is BLO/CA.

Great craftsmanship on the pens...Lousy photography...OSCAR
P.S. What did you use for your inlays? I have seen stone inlay advertised at Crafts Supplies...OSCAR

 

[tetrault]

The camera is a point n shoot Nikon.

The stone used for inlay is turquoise fine from Arizona Silhouette.

Nice job on the inlays. Pens look good, will look better with a tripod or something to stabalize the camera.

Thanks Mark...I haven't tried inlay yet, but your awesome examples make me want to do it on my next batch....Adds a great touch! OSCAR
