Pennyleaf Rosewood, AKA Dalbergia sissoo

[Ironwood]

A stainless steel Eagle Rollerball and a piece of Pennyleaf with sapwood.
CA finish.
The first pic is in natural light beside my house, the rest are taken under my diffused LED lights.

And pic one again in a bigger size to test the new forums photo ability.

After reading the new file size allowed, I am trying bigger again.
The first lot were 750 px wide, the one in post #2 was 1100px wide, all were about 200 - 300kb.
This one is 1920px wide and 1.3mb.
Let me know if it makes much difference how it looks on your screen.

EDIT- It looks much better on my 27" iMac.
EDIT 2- On my iPad, post #2&3 look the same until I magnify the photos, #2 loses detail and pixelates, While #3 still looks OK .

Very nice looking pen, I surly like the flow of the sap wood.
For photo's they are outstanding, for me the natural light is the best. Great overall work.

The photos demonstrate the perfect fit and finish on the pen.
No doubts.

Brad first let me say Excellent work and what a beautiful blank. Second how do you like the Eagle rollerball kit and if you don't mind me asking where you got it. I am currently looking for a "go to rollerball kit" any help would be appreciated.

Thanks John.
These kits and others are made by Constant, at Lazerlinez.
He has changed some of the designs since this one , I am using up my old stock.
I have not tried the new design kits yet, but I believe improvements were made to the cap threads.
I add an insert into my caps to help with alignment of the threads, which gives them a much better feel when screwing the cap on. I am assuming the new kits have addressed this problem and will not need any modifications.
You will have to check availability of the kits on the Lazerlinez website, at times they are out of stock.
