Looks great to me..... the only suggestion I have is flip that bolt around to make it more realistic. Love the wood also

Nice job. The Zircote goes really well with the pen. Excellent pic, too. Most often extra stuff (ie, the casings) would detract, but not here.

Look great. I actually prefer them the way they come. The first one I made I flipped it and it was just awkward when actually using the pen even if it looks more realistic. I like the background incorporated into the photo.

You moved the clip position too right? If you change the bolt and leave the clip it's awkward. Personally I change every bolt as a matter of course.

I did. I've even placed the clip in multiple positions, not just the pre-slotted ones. It was still awkward feeling using the bolt mechanism to advance the ink to write. Minor detail and it could be just me. I'm weird (as are most in my profession!).
