Since I have been working on my photography lately I thought I would post this picture of a aluminum baron. The kit is a chrome baron from AS. Comments welcome.

I really like it personally. I think your set up for the photo is nice and displays the pen very well. I would work on lighting though. The shadow is distracting and the camera pics up all the dust (probably from the piece of wood) on the background.

Where do you get the alum you use and with what tool do you shape it with? I would love to try alum but do not know how.

The link that Fangar posted says it all. I get my alum. rods at a metal supply company near here but you might be able to get it at a machine shop.
 
That's really nice--- I like it! Do you have any sort of clearcoat on it? That, and how did you get that lovely satin finish on it without sanding rings all over it?
