This is my first attempt and hope to improve on the 2nd time round.


Please feel free to give me your opinions and suggestions.

Please note I used my cell to take the pictures and did not do a lot for the presentation of the pen.

Pete, what a beautiful piece of wood. Terrific craftsmanship and care. Give your work the photography that it deserves with a nice camera, and consider stepping up to the nicer more substantial kits. Your vision and skill are ready.

Thank you all .

I will be doing a better Kit but using the same wood and resin mix. I will do a capture every aspect of my progress and I would like to get your opinions on my methods and get some guidance where possible.

As far as the resin is concerned . it was n mix between copper, Brass and gold to get it to blend with the wood.

I will take better Pics ..
