If this kit is new to you, I wonder what you will make when you get familar with it! Beautiful work.

Great pens. Great grain. BTW what is your setup for photos? These are all very well done.

Busybody I see. All the pens are well done. Same question as woodscavenger: What is your photo setup?

Thanks every One,

My photo set up is on a bench in my work room, I use a grey card, a 500 watt halogen light and a second light with a clear 250 watt bulb. I have the two lights shine through a transparent material, I position the 500 watt light close and the 250 watt bulb above the area and father back than the 500 watt light. I also use a reflector card I covered with aluminum foil. I set my camera on macro and away I go, all shots are set on a small mini tripod and I use the self timer function to trip the shutter. My camera is a Canon S330, 2 MP.

I've seen these in the catalog and at the time I didn't particularly like them. You have certainlyl changed my mind on these. They should use your pens in the catalog!! I will be trying some of these soon.

Very,Very nice work. I just turned this kit for the first time the other day and found out real quick that the bottom barrel length is very important.

Hi Gregory,

Yes, I did as well, the first one was less than 100%, it's now a shop pen...I left the bottom a hair longer than the tube, maybe 1/16"
