Well ain't you just coming out with some great stuff?
I love it init?

Risking a verbal slap because this is a pen forum not a camera forum, I have played again with your pics.
Sorry I cant do it justice but hopefully they are improved a tad.

That is very well turned and finished do you think the cap end is a bit to long also with that design it could have carried a clip but that's just me the craftsmanship is spot on as I said well turned and finished with some very good segmenting

Now its finished I agree the cap is to long .. I was was wanting it to be equal from the centre band ... think it might of worked with a plain centre band instead of the pattern

I agree with Woody. The craftsmanship shown in turning and finishing this pen is excellent. My only personal preference would have been a clip.

Thats is a lovely pen David and you have to experiment to move on so I think its fantastic and with the (risk of a slap for mentioning photography) enhancements Brian has done to the pictures it looks even better :thumbs:

I too am in agreement with Woody and Vic. Can't fault the craftsmanship, but would have preferred a clip on it as well :thumbs:

A push me pull pen I could see lots of fumbling for first time lookers opening the pen. Like your second one mate agree with the clip idea promoted earlier Please tell me the reception when you hand the pen to someone to look out, do you standby and watch or give instructions?

The pen itself is well made and a credit to you beaut finish you are moving fast into the fast lane IMHO.
