    I have a couple of those blanks Bruce sent me in a swap but they are quite a bit lighter but hard and heavy looks like I need to give then a go.

    Looks like a great pen.
    But as Troy says, it's a bit hard to see the lovely timber.

    Hi there,

    Would love to repeat the pic but its out for me until I figure out a solution to show detail black or at least very dark.

    Important to me is the Stickman figure it was mostly to show Skiprat in England my pick up at a thrift shop it reminds me so much of one of his creations.

    It reminds me of the old days photographing weddings the Groom in black the bride in white. The bride demands detail in her dress, the groom gets black not much detail. Or the time I photographed Thursday Island people I had to focus on the teeth their skin was coal black.

    I am soorry I dont handle electronic enhancement or jiggery pokey just do my best with what I have. Some time in the future I plan to get together with some real expert digital mates and lay the ghosts of digital camera needs.

    Regards Peter.
