Isn't it funny when you look at a photograph of your pen you see all the defects?
I used CA glue for the veneer in the celtic knot and the same glue for the oval window veneer which looks ok with the naked eye but is blurry in the photograph.
I'm making another one and using clear CA to see if it makes any difference.

Most phone cameras have very small sensors and the individual pixels will overload with light and spill over causing blurring this can also happen with smaller digital cameras as well.
Anyhow I think the pen is splendid, well done!

Thanks Tony.
When I saw the photograph and the blurry edges of the veneer, I took a closer look at the pen and it did show a bit of blurryness that I hadnt noticed before. When I used a clear drying glue the problem disappeared.
