Snakewood Baron

[smoky10]

I turned this snakewood baron about three weeks ago and have been carrying it since, I have been checking it daily for a crack but its OK so far. The tube is glued in with the new Sumo glue from Locktite and it is finished with six coats of lacquer sanded to 12000mm between every two coats. I bought a new camera and am working on my photography.

Very nice pen, wood looks amazing! As you said, you could work on the photo's, Try to soften the flash, use a closeup setting to get a better focus. Best thing is to read the tips etc in the Photo section.

Great work though!

Thanks everyone for your kind words and I still have my fingers crossed that it doesn't crack. Didn't someone here say it was 5 wks before his/hers cracked?
