My First with this wood

[Jerryconn]

This is my first effort with Dymondwood and about the 12th pen I have made so far.

[:0][:0][:0]SHRINK THAT PICTURE. You need to set your photo size to not more than 640x480. This looks about 3 times that and the edges are really strange.

What the crap are you trying to do to me![:0] I thought I was being attacked by a giant pen! Can't wait to really see it. [8D]

Wow, I bet you need two hands to write with a pen that big[)] Very nice job on the pen, excelent fit.

I used Adobe photoshop to fill in the background thts the reason for the edges. Again sorry for the monster size

Forget the mandrel I want to see the bag the kit fittings come in! Looks like we could make a lot of pens out of that pen.

Jerry,

If you are using Photoshop, go to "image size" and make it 8 or 9 inches wide. That should do it. By the way, you can "edit" your post and bring the pict size down. Upload the smaller pict, then in edit mode, replace the large pict URL with the smaller pict URL.

Beautiful color and nice looking pen!

I took it down to 600 pixels by whatever to maintain the aspect ratio. I hope it is a little better. Thanks for the help.

MUCH better! Nice job on the pen!

Looks fine to me, picture and pen. Nice job with bias cut dymondwood. Personally, I don't like d'wood to turn. However yours turned out with a very striking effect.

Ford Focus has a drive shaft? Seriously ...nice pen ...gotta love the way dymondwood turns out!
