It really looks nice. You did a good job of bringing out the character of that piece of antler & I really like the finish.
How is the feel & balance of that pen? I'm just wondering because the top part of the antler seems to have a somewhat hefty bulge, but you probably had to do that to keep from turning down that nice texture.

It is an optical illusion, the pen does not have a hefty bulge ? Do not know how it appears like that because it is almost straight in the hand ????
 
Now that I look at it closer - the second photo does have a bit of a fisheye effect. Not that I'm one to critique your photos - I generally just use my iPhone for my pen photos.
