Sorry for the poor pictures. One is from my camera and the other is simply a scan. I used a Woodcraft slim line gold kit. It was finished using HUT PPP. Looking closely it is evident the lower barrel is a tad undersize where it meets the center band. I had it to size then had a brain fart. Since this is my first pen and plan on keeping it for myself, I made the lower barrel a bit large so it is easier for me to hold on to! I do not know what wood this is as it came as an extra in a box of blanks I bought. Micah, this one was unmarked so if you remeber what it is let me know!!!

Sooooooo, what cha think??!! I'm a big boy. I can take it!!

Gergory, Nice Job for the first try. One of the things on fitting that I found that helped me was to mic every pen and make a habit of it. You can but an inexpensive digital mic from H/F around $10.00
 
I tend to side with walnut but could be mesquite. Great first pen! Undersized, oversized, comes with the territory for most of us on the first few and stays with some of us through quite a few! [:D]
 
Keep up the good work!! You are now officialy one of us! Hooked for life. From now on no more food, just pen supplies and wood!
 
Good job, be sure to keep it, you'll be glad you did!
Much better than my first one, too!
I like the scan better than the photo, but invest in a photo shop program (I use MS picture it 10), it's worth it. you can do alot of fun things with it

I have the Adobe suite (Photoshop 7, Illustrator, and Elements 2.0) It is a camera which needs investing in!!!! It is not really designed for macro work.

Godd Luck,,,keep em coming, get a second mortgage to pay for it...
