What kind of wood is that?
It is beautiful.

Congrats on the sale, I know it is still exciting to me when they sell. I like the material combination. The only thing I would change is to trim down the shape of the body just a touch. I like the curve just a little less of it. I still think your customer will like them. certainly if your other work indicates this design.

My guess on the wood is quilted maple.

I am always worried that if I take the shape down to small the figure in the wood will be lost.

I know the feeling.

Great looking pens and good clear photography but the backround is kinda noisy. Picture would be better if it didn't get lost. Contrasting color and not so much going on.

James, the pens are GORGEOUS! That finish looks about 3 feet deep!
The photos are a bit "busy" as a selling photo, But as a publicity photo, EXCELLENT!

love ly pens, I too, agree on the needed shape reduction. I am not the purchaser, however and they get to say what is ideal.

I would agree with Daniel - a little less curve but those are beautiful. That koa is absolutely gorgeous.

You must just think about the beauty that you haven't revealed yet by not turning it down
The pen looks great. The finish is awesome. I'd agree with the others about the shape. A subtle curve would be better.

Really, you seem to have a great wood-to kit fit. Your finish looks consistent, no visible sanding lines or dull spots. You do ave a bit more bulge than most of us would have left but not only is it a matter of taste, the customer's opinion is all that matters.
The best thing is that you're open for criticism, looking to improve, you're golden.

Lovely pair, I agree with the others who prefer a slimmer barrel, just a personal taste thing.

Beautiful wood revealed well! I too would say bring the shape down just a tad. But I agree with you - when the wood is showing some real beauty, you don't want to mess with it.
