Oh yeah, and James, that looks like it's a heck of a pen! You did a great job aligning the "grain" when closed, and the fit looks pretty good too. Sorry, did't want you to think I was trashing either the pen or the pic; both are at least good to very good. A few tweaks to the pic (IMHO) and you'll have a great pic, which will also allow us to better see the pen. If you're curious as to what I consider a good pic, check out the ones in the Critiques forum (it's a closed forum, but you can still see the pens there), or look at the pictures posted by Bruce Boone (BTBoone), Anthony Turchetta (Penworks), and James Mann (Fangar) - there are others who take good pics too, and I don't mean to slight anyone, but their pics come quickly to mind as consistently great to excellent.
