Ruby pen turning

Well, I was asking about how to do scallops yesterday and received a link on how to do it. It looked easy enough so this morning and most of the day I have been doing this pen.
It is a copper Jr Retro with a scallops at the top and bottom in Maple burl along with the bands and the main body is Honduran Rosewood Burl. The Final is Cocobolo. There are 3 copper electrical wire inserts in the main body. The finish is around 10 coats of CA sanded through all the pretty colored pads. I guess it should be pretty easy but for the first scallop pen I have done, the scallops did not come out equal I am pretty sure it is because the blanks was not square. I do not think they look bad that way (uneven) , just not all equal as they should be.
Overall I am very happy with my first scallop pen.
Let me know what ya`ll think bad or good or in between. Thanks for lookin.
