My first screw-cap. Critiques anyone? Thanks for looking.

That bottom is pretty big, and it seems to me to be almost to overwhelm the bottom half of the pen. but that could also be b/c the color of the wood is similar to the gold finish. The finish on the wood looks great!

To pick up on something else related to the comments Angboy made, the black ring diameter is the largest hardware diammeter on the pen, when I use that hardware I like to make the cap with a curve that at it's apex is larger in diameter than the hardware, but still returns for a flush fit where it counts. The visual look with the curve takes away that "Proud" hardware look..I really an starting to dislike that accent ring on the capped pens, I have started to remove them. This is not a critisism of your pen, just a critique on how the hardware and the pen body can visually work to trick the eye I think.[)]
I like the picture too, but we want to see the blank more than the hardware..[8D]

Very nice job on the pen too!
