Well done, Vic, you've some lovely pens here! But that lacewood in the No 3 position is a truly stunning piece. The grain looks like snakeskin!!! It's no wonder that rupala is so prized by us pen geezers!

Beautiful pens & great photos Vic but you'll end up scratching your pens on those sharp crystals & have to do 'em again which would be a great shame.

Oh yeah It's Vic the Pic init?
Smashing pics mate but I do have a criticism, if you must use a prop then please make it a white one so its invisible and not distracting the subject image.
Other than that, wow you is the man init?

Choice is yours Vic thanks for the pens displayed today I have a weakness for the second down on the left it so reminds me of a few of my favourites from Australia like Beefwood from the Kimberly Lacewood from W Aust etc but nothing man made will come within a bulls roar of that spectacular composite of shapes irregularities or mother natures revelation in that grain.

Bloody cold in my shed today, with a leaky roof and a frozen puddle on the bench.
I looked a load of lumpy water and shut the door on it, went back to the warmth of my wife's arms and sobbed init?
