walnut burl

I think I may be more excited about the fact that I FINALLY figured out how to photograph these suckers than I am about the pen itself (especially with some blemishes in the finish). Granted the Walnut Burl is definitely pretty and one of the most figured woods I've turned so far. Nonetheless...

I've made quite a few pens, but only a few different kits so far. I bought a bunch of Cuban kits a while back and got around to making one this week. The assembly is a bit trickier than others I've done but the pen itself came out pretty well I think. Feel free to critique.
